(MENAFN- AzerNews) The commander of the Land Forces of the Army of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, Kioumars Heydari, has made vile defamatory and
slanderous statements regarding Azerbaijan.
K. Heydari, in his absurd thoughts, claims that“Zionist” forces
allegedly exist in Azerbaijan and that Azerbaijan used ISIS
terrorists brought from Syria during the 44-day Patriotic War, and
that they are still in the Azerbaijani territory. Moreover, he
stated that Iran will not allow changes on the border with
Armenia.
First of all, we declare that the Iranian side's accusations
about the presence of any foreign forces in the territory of the
Republic of Azerbaijan are unfounded and completely unacceptable.
In general, there are no extraneous forces in the territory of the
Republic of Azerbaijan.
We would like to remind K. Heydari that Armenia had been keeping
the Azerbaijani lands under occupation for 30 years. As a result of
this military aggression, a 132-kilometer section of the
Azerbaijani-Iranian state border had also been occupied. However,
the Iranian side had never made compromising statements about
Armenia. On the contrary, the Iranian-Armenian brotherhood
strengthened during this period. And today it is no secret to
anyone that if Armenia has two main allies in the world, France is
one of them, and Iran is the other.
The Republic of Azerbaijan supports the territorial integrity of
all countries and does not interfere in the internal affairs of
other states.
In response to the accusation that Azerbaijan allegedly used
ISIS terrorists during the 44-day Patriotic War, we declare that
the glorious Azerbaijan Army single-handedly liberated the
occupated territories and signed a triumphal chronicle. This claim
is nothing more than an absurd accusation and slander. It is ironic
and ridiculous that this accusation was made by a high-ranking
military officer of a state that supports terrorism and whose name
is known for committing terrorist acts in various countries around
the world.
