Iran favors and is fervidly following up on the case of
visa waiver with Azerbaijan, a spokesman of the Islamic Republic's
Foreign Ministry, Bahram Qassemi, said at a conference in
Tehran.
"I hope that regarding the nature of mutual relations a visa
waiver can be achieved," Qassemi said.
He added that the first step, which is being arranged, is for
the two sides to ease the requirements. "After that, they will lift
the visa requirement for special groups, and then it would be
generalized," Qassemi noted.
The spokesman added that Iran is pursuing the same agenda with
Russia.
"We have waived visa with a number of countries already.
Generally, we do not have any problem with visa waiver and are
ready to improve the range of countries with which we remove the
visa requirements," Qassemi said.
