“Azerbaijan has always been interested in the positive development of relations with Iran. Recently, there has been tension in relations between the two countries, for which there were very serious reasons,” Bayramov said, according to Azerbaijani news agency Trend.
“However,” he added, “we highly appreciate the visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian to Azerbaijan, his participation in the ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as his meeting with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during this visit.”
Bayramov pointed out that thanks to this meeting, it became possible to openly discuss all the issues and topics that caused the tension.
“We see Iran's intention to take serious steps towards resolving disagreements. In this case, Azerbaijan will take adequate and reciprocal steps,” he continued.
