Rena Murshud read more Sometimes crazy, sometimes jealous and sometimes very angry -
all these together give the meaning of Iran.
The regime, which is not satisfied with throwing up its grudge
and hatred against Azerbaijan with a number of excuses, this time
turned the relations between the state of Israel and Azerbaijan
into a tool in its hands and started resorting to various
provocations.
However, Iran is not as silly as its neighbor and close soul
brother, Armenia. No matter how hostile it is, it does not give up
its sweet tongue. For example, early this week, when the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan issued a statement about the ban
on the visit of citizens to Iran, it was able to immediately
respond to it in its own way. Although Nasser Kanani, the spokesman
of the Iranian Foreign Minister, gave a somewhat funny impression
by calling Azerbaijanis "brothers and sisters", in general, he was
able to play his stage role well, which was prepared based on the
scenario of the regime.
Nevertheless, as always, this time the mullah regime could not
hide its character. The unjust arrest of Farid Safarli and the
unethical behavior towards several Azerbaijanis once again exposed
Iran's insidious inner world.
"There has always been a prejudiced and hostile attitude towards
Azerbaijan in the Iranian regime and its foreign policy, and it
manifested itself in all forms. This is not Iran's foreign policy,
but a policy of hostility at the state level."
A political analyst, member of the Board of the National
Liberation Front of South Azerbaijan, Sadig Isabayli said this to Azernews , while discussing Iran's attitude towards
Azerbaijan. He added that according to Iran, Azerbaijan should not
be a strong state and it is necessary to create obstacles in front
of all factors. "We saw such an attitude towards Azerbaijan in the
Second Karabakh War: the victory of our powerful army, the
liberation of our occupied lands, the beginning of peace processes.
Threats, criticism, provocations and anti-Azerbaijani propaganda
against the country in various forms continue to this day from
Iran," the expert added.
By making such a statement, the Iranian offical tries to cover
up his country's hostile policy towards us. However, Iran, the only
terrorist regime in the world that holds citizens of other
countries hostage and uses them to pressure the other side, accuse
the Azerbaijani citizens on espionage.
Besides, while discussing Iran's domestic and foreign policy,
the expert called Iran a dependent country on others and determined
by foreign forces. "The Pahlavi regime, which ruled for 53 years,
was established by England, and the mullah regime, which has
continued until now for 44 years, was established as a result of
the treacherous policy of France. The uprising, protest and desire
for freedom of the population against the Pahlavi regime led to the
coming to power from France of Khomeini, whose guards were citizens
of France, and their graves are still guarded in Iran.
Iran has always interfered in the processes in the region
through terrorism. The essence of the process is the interest of
France in energy and the weakening of the Turkish states," Isabeyli
noted.
The expert called Azerbaijanİ policy very smart, complex and
modern in accordance with the high standards of international
relations.
"The visits of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Europe,
speeches that he gives at various multilateral and international
meetings shape the country's foreign policy in accordance with the
course of both regional and global processes at a high level. Also,
unlike Iran, Azerbaijan's foreign policy is carried out
independently, and totally for its own interests. Iran cannot
reconcile with this reality, and wants to accuse Azerbaijan of
being under the control of foreign forces," the expert said.
Azerbaijani-Israeli relations are conducted at a strategic
level. Relations between the two states in the energy, political,
social, and other fields are based on very serious and strategic
partnership. Iran obviously considers not only Azerbaijan but also
Israel a hostile country and threatens it with statements that it
will“destroy” them. Iran clearly does not welcome the development
of comprehensive relations between the two states belonging to
different religions. However, when we distinguish between the
attitude towards the Turks in Iran and the attitude towards the
Jews living in Azerbaijan, we see how Azerbaijan is a democratic
state.
According to the expert, there is some kind of similarity
between Iran's policy and the despotic policy of Hitler. Putting
forward the slogan "If there is misfortune in the whole world, the
Jews are to blame", Iran wants to sever Israel's relations with all
countries. However, Azerbaijan proves the opposite.
"I would like to note that the Azerbaijani-Israeli relations are
of concern not only to Iran, but also to Armenia and France. France
intends to arrange provocations against the Jews in America," the
expert emphasized.
Discussing the feasibility of normalization of
Iranian-Azerbaijani relations, he called it a very tough process.
Despite the fact that 40 million Azerbaijanis live in Iran, their
cultural and political rights are being violated. The Iranian
regime applies its policy of discrimination in all directions.
Given all the threats and provocations of Iran against Azerbaijan,
the normalization of bilateral relations in the near future looks
hazy. The fact that Azerbaijan has a say in the geopolitical
processes in the region irritates Iran.
Moreover, speaking about the danger from Iran, the expert urged
Azerbaijani citizens to take the statement of the Foreign Ministry
serious.
"I think that Azerbaijanis living in or visiting Iran should
stick to the statement made by the Foreign Minister. Regardless of
their status, any Azerbaijani can be taken hostage and used against
Azerbaijan."
"The Iranian regime is merciless not only to the Turks, but also
to its own citizens. Over the past 6-7 months, thousands of people
have been thrown into prisons and shot on streets. I think that not
a single Azerbaijani should visit Iran by taking Azerbaijan's
Foreign Ministry's statement seriously. Firstly, it is necessary
for the safety of citizens, and secondly, it should not allow Iran
to use it as a threat," the expert concluded.
