Iran scrutinizing history distortion case

The Iranian embassy in Baku has started scrutinizing the distortion
of Azerbaijani history in some history and geography textbooks
released in Iran that indicated Karabakh as Armenian territory, the
Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Afshar Suleymani told a news
conference on Friday.

The ambassador said that the distortion could have taken place,
although he has not seen the books. He added that he will receive a
reply to the relevant enquiry sent to Iran shortly.
