"During a telephone conversation, Amirabdollahian stated that Tehran is determined to deepen relations with Baku," the press service of the country's foreign ministry said, IRNA reports.
The Iranian Foreign Minister thanked his colleague for the release of two Iranian drivers "arrested in Azerbaijan" (on the Goris-Kapan road of the Syunik region of Armenia, Ed. note) and called this action a constructive step that could provide the necessary basis for further resolving misunderstandings.
The parties stressed the importance of resolving all disagreements through dialogue. The foreign ministers also discussed other issues of mutual interest.
It should be noted that the stumbling block between Baku and Tehran was the actions of the Azerbaijani security forces against the Iranian trucks on the Goris-Kapan road of the Syunik region of the Republic of Armenia, 21 km of which were under the control of the Azerbaijani side in September this year. The Azerbaijani side is demanding $ 200-400 from Iranian drivers for travel through this section as a customs fee. Moreover, two Iranian drivers were detained for allegedly delivering cargo to Nagorno-Karabakh. They were released on October 21st.
