The Azerbaijani side has expectations regarding the investigation of the terrorist act committed against the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran in January 2023, and we explicitly told this to the Iranian side, Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said to journalists, APA reports.
According to him, the criminal investigation is expected to be completed soon, and the perpetrators, the clients will be brought to justice:
“According to the information provided by the Iranian side, the criminal investigation is ongoing, so it is too early to talk about concrete results.
“We believe that this event has had a very negative impact on the relations between the two countries. At the same time we received several appeals from the Iranian side asking to resume the operation of our diplomatic mission. However, of course, these issues are interconnected, and the Azerbaijani side has to be absolutely sure that the criminals, the clients will be brought to justice and severely punished. All the relevant guarantees should be given to the Azerbaijani side not in word but in deed.”
