“We’ll see what the result of such statements for Azerbaijan will
be. Though I am the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran
to Azerbaijan, I am one of the Azerbaijanis of Iran. Both Iran and
Azerbaijan are my Homeland. Some people can hardly earn their living,
but they make claims, interfere with the internal affairs of Iran.
Naturally this will not benefit Azerbaijan,” stated Afshar Suleymani,
the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Azerbaijan on
March 17.

The ambassador is dissatisfied with the statements of Javad Derehteyi,
the president of the World Congress of Azerbaijanis, during the second
congress of the Azerbaijanis of the world on the problem of the 35
million Azerbaijanis living in Iran.

The Ambassador of Iran assessed the address of Javad Derehteyi as an
interference with the internal affairs of Iran. The Iranian diplomat
thinks there are a number of Azerbaijanis in Iran who could have an
important role in establishing the Azerbaijani lobby in the world.

“There are a number of political parties and organizations in Iran,
which are trying to take certain actions in the country. We do not
create favorable conditions for them. In the meantime, such statements
may give rise to serious problems in the future. It is necessary to
put an end to this kind of speculations. The state should not allow
anyone to damage the interests of another state during an official
meeting. Such people do not benefit Azerbaijan,” the Iranian ambassador
Afshar Suleymani told the Azerbaijani journalists.

He said he knew what is hiding under such statements. “They want to
unite and create one Azerbaijan. But let them not even dream of this,”
said the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Azerbaijan.
