Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov has visited those injured in the
attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran, trend reports citing
MFA's Twitter publication.
'Today, Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov visited our colleagues
Vasif Tagiyev and Mahir Imanov, who were injured as a result of the
terrorist attack against the Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran on January
27, 2023, and wished recovery to our colleagues, whose condition is
now assessed as satisfactory,' the publication says.
An armed attack took place at the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran
on January 27, 2023, at about 8:30 (GMT+4). The gunman turned out
to be a man in his 50's, who drove up to the administrative
building, armed with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle.
Earlier reports from the Chief of Tehran police said there were
two children in the car with the gunman, the security camera footage released later proved the
man was alone. He entered the building after briefly waving hand to
the Iranian security guard outside. No attempts were made to detain
the gunman, as he freely entered the embassy. The man managed to
kill head of the security service and wounding two embassy guards.
The shooter was eventually detained. The incident is currently
being investigated.
Following the deadly assault, Azerbaijan evacuated its officials
from the embassy, including those who suffered as a result of the
attack and completely suspended the work of the embassy in
Tehran.
