We firmly reject the claims of the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Republic of Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, regarding the West Azerbaijan Community.

Axar.az reports that these words were made by Aykhan Hajizada, Head of the Press Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, while commenting on the claims of the Iranian Ambassador to Armenia regarding the West Azerbaijan Community.

He stated that the ambassador's manipulative interpretation of the decisions of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) regarding the West Azerbaijan Community adopted in Istanbul arouses surprise and anger, as it distorts the clear intention of the decisions to protect justice and human rights against the Community, which was systematically expelled from the territory of present-day Armenia through violence, intimidation and gross violations.

"If the ambassador is not familiar with the text of the resolutions adopted by the OIC, we would recommend that he read them carefully. The resolutions, including the resolution entitled "The Right of Return of Azerbaijanis Forced and Systematically Expelled from the Territory of Present-Day Armenia," reflect undeniable historical facts based on the principles of international law and justice. These resolutions demand the restoration of the fundamental rights of the displaced Azerbaijanis, not the territorial claims falsely presented by Armenia and voiced by the Iranian ambassador. In addition, the resolution condemns, among other things, Armenia's persistent denial of the fundamental rights of the Community.

The ambassador's false statements, calculated to satisfy Armenia's needs, are particularly dangerous because they contradict the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran, represented in Istanbul at the level of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which supported the resolutions on the Western Azerbaijan Community together with 57 countries.

The ambassador's regular and systematic provocative statements against Azerbaijan are aimed at undermining relations between Azerbaijan and Iran.

The fact that Armenia's distortions are so enthusiastic, more than the Pope, "It will not be honorable to be promoted as a Catholic," he said.
