attack on the country's diplomatic mission in Iran attributed the
incident to the recent anti-Azerbaijani campaign in that country,
Azernews reports per the ministry.
Condemning the attack, the ministry noted that as the host
country, Iran has to fulfill its obligations under the Vienna
Convention on Diplomatic Relations and ensure the security of the
embassy and the safety of its employees.
The ministry recalled that there have been attempts to threaten
Azerbaijan's diplomatic mission in Iran, and for this reason, it
was constantly called to take measures to prevent such cases and to
ensure the safety of the Azerbaijani diplomatic mission.
'Unfortunately, the latest bloody terror attack demonstrates
serious consequences of not showing proper sensitivity to our
urgent appeals in this direction. We strongly demand that Iran
identify and punish the perpetrators of the mentioned terrorist
attack, as well as the instigators of this bloody act as soon as
possible in the strictest manner,' the ministry said.
The ministry added that Azerbaijan will use all the
opportunities given by the relevant international mechanisms in
order to identify the perpetrators and ensure a proper
punishment.
In an interview with TRT Haber, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
Ayxan Hajizada stressed that the Azerbaijani government plans to
evacuate the embassy in Tehran in the near future.
'Each state is responsible for ensuring the security of foreign
embassies in its country,' he added.
He also added that Iran bears full responsibility for the attack
on the embassy.
