Iran Objects To Azerbaijan's Appeals To NAM, CICA Over Embassy Attack
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more Iran has objected to the draft communiqués and statements
submitted by Azerbaijan to the Coordinating Bureau of the
Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and to the conference on Interaction and
Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) immediately after the
embassy attack, Azernews reports per the Foreign Ministry.
According to the ministry, following the terrorist attack on the
embassy in Tehran on January 27, Azerbaijan has submitted to
relevant international organizations and platforms documents for
condemnation of the brutality as well as for the identification,
and prompt punishment of the organizers and perpetrators of the
act.
Notably, around 100 countries and the secretariats of a number
of international organizations have condemned the terror act since
January 27, emphasizing the need for punishment of the
perpetrators.
The ministry noted that Iran has tried to prevent the terror
attack from being widely exposed at the international level in the
international organizations of which it is a member and in which
decisions are based on consensus.
In addition, Iran has appealed to numerous countries for support
of its position in the aforementioned organizations, but support
for Iran's position was given only by Syria and India among the 120
countries in the Non-Aligned Movement.
The ministry stated that the three countries mainly relied on a
claim that terror attacks in individual countries were not
condemned by the Non-Aligned Movement before and bilateral issues
between these countries were not brought to international platforms
such as NAM. However, the ministry recalled that NAM has, in many
cases, adopted a number of documents condemning the terror attacks
that occurred in its member states and emphasizing the protection
of diplomatic missions.
Further, the ministry expressed its condemnation of this
provocative step of Iran, urging it to comply with its
international obligations.
It was noted that Azerbaijan will use all relevant international
platforms to widely condemn the terror act against its embassy and
have perpetrators of the act punished.
