ArmInfo.Members of the Iranian Mejlis, including representatives of the Azerbaijani-speaking provinces, on November 13 criticized the recent provocative  statements of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

The leader of Azerbaijan at the 9th summit of the Organization of  Turkic States (OTG) said that his country would try to ensure that  those who, by the will of fate outside of Azerbaijan, preserved their  native language, traditions, culture, and were faithful to the ideas  of Azerbaijanism.  Vice-Speaker of the Parliament Ali Nikzad said at  the morning session: " The grandson cannot deny the existence of his  grandfather, therefore the statements of the President of the  Republic of Azerbaijan are groundless."

Iranian parliamentarian Alborz Hosseini, in turn, advised Aliyev to  read the Gulistan peace treaty in order to understand the history of  the country! He stressed that the President of Azerbaijan has no  right to make such statements about the territorial integrity of  neighboring countries.  "The statements of the President of   Azerbaijan are groundless, if the Gulistan peace agreement was not  fulfilled, then the Republic of Azerbaijan would be a part of Iran  and he would not have become the president of this country. The  Iranian Foreign Ministry and Parliament should respond to such  statements, because the region needs peace more than ever, " said the  representative of the Iranian parliament.  The representative of the  city of Tabriz, Mohammadreza Mir-Tajedini, also commented on Aliyev's  statements, noting that it is Azerbaijan had separated from Iran, and  if we are talking about accession, then Nakhijevan should join Iran.
