Why are the recent positions of the Azerbaijani government not constructive?
It was expected that the reaction of the Azerbaijani government to the incident of the embassy of this country would be aimed at solving the problem, but the non-diplomatic positions that can be used by the opposing media to divert the relations between the two countries towards increasing tension will definitely not have a constructive effect.
NOURNEWS - The attack of an armed person on the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran on Friday and the events that followed, despite the attacker's acknowledgment that he committed such an act for personal reasons, unfortunately, with some hasty comments by the Azeri authorities on the subject of the Ma'and media, which It turned out that the two countries are not interested in continuing warm relations.
Hereof; The literature used in the position of some officials of the Republic of Azerbaijan, who were expected to seek to calm the atmosphere, actually caused the escalation of tension and the emergence of new challenges.
However, the; All the proofs and evidences, including the confessions of the attacker, indicate that the motivation of this action was personal, and therefore, the use of false expressions such as terrorist or planned incident, which was planned by the Azeri authorities, is completely unacceptable.
The point is; Due to the importance it attaches to the relations between the two countries, the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately reacted to this incident at the highest level and expressed its regret, and did not stop taking any measures to treat the injured, honor the killed diplomat, and alleviate the suffering of the embassy staff and their families.
On the other hand; According to the statement of the attacker, before committing this crime, he had visited the Azerbaijan Embassy several times to find out about the condition of his wife and did not receive a response, and the Embassy of Azerbaijan also did not respond to the written request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran to determine the condition of the attacker's wife.
It was expected that the reaction of the Azerbaijani government to this incident would be aimed at solving the problem, but the non-diplomatic stances that can be used by the opposing media to divert the relations between the two countries towards increasing tension will definitely not have a constructive effect.
This is while, for example; During the terrorist attack on the Holy Shrine of Shahcheragh (PBUH), which led to the martyrdom of a number of our compatriots, although several of the terrorists and their supporters had Azerbaijani passports, the Islamic Republic of Iran never tried to interpret and relate this issue to the coordination between the terrorists and the government Azerbaijan.
On the other hand; The withdrawal of Azeri diplomats from Iran and the suspension of the activities of Azerbaijan's political representation in Tehran, which of course does not mean the termination of relations, while it is an unjustifiable action, is more like an attempt to create a propaganda atmosphere against Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has always welcomed the warm relationship with the government and people of Azerbaijan and despite some differences of opinion regarding the political, security and media measures of this country, especially the opening of the Zionist regime to the northern borders of Iran, it has not allowed the relations between the two countries suffers, by adopting an intelligent tension management approach.
In any way; Although there has been no change in Iran's strategic policy towards Azerbaijan and Tehran always seeks to improve all-round relations with Baku, the government of the Republic of Azerbaijan should pay close and fair attention to the roots of the tragic incident of the armed attack on the embassy of this country, instead of stepping into The way to increase tension is to seek to calm the situation and cooperate to overcome the current unpleasant situation.
