ArmInfo.Some 210 Iranian parliament lawmakers in a statement have condemned the opening of the embassy of Azerbaijan in the occupied Palestinian territories as well  as the appointment of the Azerbaijani envoy in the region while  urging the Iranian foreign ministry to take action in this regard,  IRNA reports.

According to the source: "the statement issued on Wednesday said that  the government of the Republic of Azerbaijan opened its embassy in  Israel and introduced its ambassador to the fake regime in an  unbelievable act that was against the Islamic world's interests.   Azerbaijani officials' move will bring about various negative  political consequences and the Muslims will consider them as  accomplices of the Zionist regime in their crimes against the  oppressed Palestinians, it added.

The Iranian lawmakers urged the Arab and Islamic governments, the  Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Inter-Parliamentary  Union to condemn Azerbaijan's move," noted in the statement.

On March 29, the official opening ceremony of the Azerbaijani embassy  in Israel with participation Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun  Bayramov, took place in Tel Aviv. Before the ceremony, Bayramov held  talks with his Israeli counteraprt Eli Cohen.  We also add that  following Bayramov's visit to Israel, it became known about Baku's  intentions to purchase from Tel Aviv a batch of missiles of the LORA  operational-tactical missile system, the Barak-8 medium-range  anti-aircraft missile system and the Iron Dome tactical missile  defense system. By the way, "Barak 8" has been in Azerbaijan's  arsenal since 2016, and LORA - since 2018.  Both systems were used  during the aggression of Azerbaijan against Artsakh, and Azerbaijan  became the first country to use the LORA OTRK in combat operations.
