`We don`t understand meaning of warm relations between Iran and Armenia`
“According to official data, Iran has an Azerbaijani population of 35 million, while unofficial sources suggest this figure is 40 million. Iran claims to be a Shi’a Muslim country. Since we’re Shi’a Muslim brothers, we don’t understand the meaning of warm relations between Iran and Armenia”.

This was stated by Vice Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Ziyafat Asgarov.

Z. Asgarov this concern is also brought to attention during meetings with Iranian parliamentarians.

“However, they say this is Iran’s independent policy and no one can intrude. So we stay away.

During such meetings, they remind us of Azerbaijan’s friendship with Israel, asking what the reason behind Azerbaijani-Israeli friendship is. And we say this is Azerbaijan’s independent policy,“ he said.
