"This meeting is part of the efforts of the two countries to resolve outstanding issues in the process of relations between the countries and the issue related to the Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran. To date, the process is positive and many aspects of the case have been resolved.

On January 27, an armed attack was carried out on the Azerbaijan embassy in Tehran, killing an Azerbaijani security officer and injuring two others.

The gunman, identified as Yasin Hosseinzadeh, was armed with a Kalashnikov rifle when he broke into the embassy building and killed the Azerbaijani officer. He was eventually stopped by the embassy’s security staff after a violent scuffle.

Iran said the attack stemmed from personal reasons, but Baku sees it as an act of terrorism.

Diplomatic activities at the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran were completely suspended following the incident. However, a few employees remained in the Iranian capital to safeguard the embassy building and properties.
