ECO Discusses Terror Attack Against Azerbaijani Embassy In Tehran
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Qabil Ashirov read more The 273rd meeting of the Council of Permanent Representatives
(CPR) was held within the framework of Azerbaijan's chairmanship of
the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), Azernews reports,
citing Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry.
The event occurred in a hybrid format with the participation of
Ali Alizada, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Iran, Khusrov Noziri,
Secretary General of the OIC, and heads of the diplomatic missions
of the OIC member states in Tehran, the report adds.
The meeting discussed the results of the 26th meeting of the OIC
Council of Ministers held in Tashkent on January 24, 2023, and the
issues related to the preparation for the 27th meeting of the
Organization's Council of Ministers, scheduled to be planned in
Baku this year, as well as the 16th summit meeting to be held in
Uzbekistan.
Taking into account the terror attack against the Azerbaijani
embassy in Iran, a new item was added to the agenda of the meeting
at the initiative of Azerbaijan.
“It was brought to the attention of the representatives of the
member states that the organizers and perpetrators of the terrorist
act should be quickly identified and brought to justice, as well as
the need for the host country, the Islamic Republic of Iran, to
fulfill its obligations arising from the Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations, and to ensure the protection and security of
diplomatic missions. In this regard, emphasizing that Iran also
hosts the OIC headquarters, the importance of ensuring the
diplomatic immunities of the OIC Secretariat and OIC member states
was highlighted,” the ministry said.
The ambassador noted at the event that since the Azerbaijani
embassy was evacuated from Iran as a result of the terrorist
attack, there were difficulties in direct presiding over the
meetings of the Council of Permanent Representatives of OIC.
However, he added that with the implementation of the events,
planned to be hosted by Azerbaijan within the framework of the OIC
presidency in 2023, and the events arising from our chairmanship,
the discharge of other obligations will be fully ensured.
