Qabil Ashirov read more A commission was established to prepare the response statement
of the Milli Majlis to the Iranian parliament, Azernews
reports.
Fazail Ibrahimli, the deputy chairman of the Milli Majlis will
lead the commission in the preparation of the text of the
statement.
The Commission includes Zahid Oruj, Rafael Huseynov, Cavanshir
Pashazade, Afat Hasanova, and Kamran Bayramov.
Besides that, The Speaker of The Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova
criticized the biased Statement of the Iranian Parliament over the
opening of an embassy in Israel by Azerbaijan.
"Iran has never objected to Armenia, which kept Azerbaijani
lands under occupation for over 30 years and brutally looted the
wealth of Azerbaijan. Iran, which supported Armenia with various
means, today is worried about the opening an embassy in Israel,”
she said.
In addition, Sahiba Gafarova noted that Azerbaijan is an
independent country and it is Azerbaijan's internal affair to build
relations with any country.
"No one has the right to interfere with the sovereign rights of
Azerbaijan. We strongly reject the groundless accusations made by
the Iranian parliament against our country, we call on the Iranian
parliament to stop such provocations against Azerbaijan and refrain
from actions that could harm bilateral relations," said Sahiba
Gafarova.
We should note that the Iranian Parliament adopted a statement
against Azerbaijan over the opening embassy in Israel. The
Statement reads about the occupation of Quds, as well as criticizes
and threatens Azerbaijan for building bilateral relations with
Israel.
However, we should recall that Azerbaijan has sound relations
not only with Israel but also with Palestine state.
In addition, always voicing that the vast majority of
Azerbaijan's population is Muslim Shia, Iran emphasizes and even
requires that Azerbaijan should side with Palestine in the
Israeli-Palestine conflict, somehow defying the fact that the
Azerbaijani population is Muslim Shia in the Karabakh conflict
which Armenians dispelled about one million people from their
homelands and kept under occupation the 20 percent of Azerbaijani
lands over 30 years.
Further, for demonstrating Iranian support to Armenia against
Muslim Azerbaijan, Iran opened the Consulate General in Gapan last
year and held several military drills in the Azerbaijani-Iranian
borders.
