(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Details added: first version posted on 11:43
BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 7. Azerbaijan's Milli
Majlis (Parliament) has strongly condemned the statement of the
Iranian parliament against Azerbaijan, trend reports.
Chairman of the Milli Majlis Committee on Science and Education
Bakhtiyar Aliyev said that during the 30 years of Armenian
occupation of Azerbaijani lands, the Iranian authorities have never
made any statements about the actions of Armenia, which committed
genocide in Khojaly and dozens of other Azerbaijani villages, but,
on the contrary, expanded diplomatic relations and military
cooperation with Armenia.
"The unfair statement of the Iranian parliament is strongly
condemned by the Azerbaijani people, former internally displaced
persons, including refugees expelled from Armenia," he noted.
MP Azer Badamov said at today's meeting of the Milli Majlis that
Iran cannot accept the successful development and growing authority
of Azerbaijan.
"Iran shouldn't prompt Azerbaijan what to do. Azerbaijan is an
independent state, and it knows how to build relations with other
states. It would be good for the Iranian parliament to abandon its
anti-Islamic, treacherous actions. It should protect Islamic
values, and not build close relations with Armenians who insult
Islam," Badamov noted.
Another MP Nizami Jafarov pointed out that Iran's position has
long been known.
"We knew the position of Iran during the occupation of
Azerbaijani lands. There is no second country that betrayed the
values of Islam as cynically as Iran. This country violates the
rights of Azerbaijanis to life,” Jafarov said.
According to the MP, Azerbaijan, building relations with other
countries, does not and won't consult with anyone
“We have seen friendship on the part of Israel and betrayal on
the part of Iran,” he added.
Previously, the Iranian parliament adopted a statement
containing threats against Azerbaijan in connection with the
opening of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Israel.
