    Expert: Iran to respond toughly to Azerbaijan's anti-Islamic policy

    March 31, 2012 - 13:15 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Expert in Azerbaijani studies Sargis Asatryan said
    Azerbaijan increasingly incites Iran against it.

    Iran accused Azerbaijan of Israeli agents operating on its territory
    who attempt against Iranian scientists, Asatryan told a press
    conference in Yerevan mentioning that the British Times paper dubbed
    Azerbaijan as `the nest of spies'.

    According to the expert, arrest of alleged Iranian `terrorists' by
    Azerbaijan's special services and rumors spread about provision of an
    airport on Azerbaijan's territory to Israel have added to the
    tensions.

    Besides, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's policy aimed to shut
    down mosques, host Eurovision song contest and even potential
    organization of a gay parade provoke strong negative response by
    Iran's clergy, Asatryan said.

    Iranian officials and clergy representatives have repeatedly warned
    they would provide a most tough response to this.

    So, further deterioration of relations between Iran and Azerbaijan
    seems quite likely, and Armenia should avail itself of this situation
    to the utmost, Asatryan stated.
