No new Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan is expected to be appointed
after the present ambassador Mohammad Baqer Bahrami's mission ends and
he leaves, as the embassy closes for an indefinite time period,
news.am informs citing Azerbaijani sources.
According to the source, the Iranian embassy can close temporarily.
The consulate will carry out the embassy's mission.
Earlier, the present head of the dimplomatic mission was recalled to
Tehran and returned to Baku just a week ago. Offensive words in
address of the Iranian spiritual leader during a protest in front of
the embassy was said to be the reason of recalling the ambassador.
A day after returning to Baku information was circulated that the
ambassador would leave Baku in near future because the term of his
mission was expiring.
Recently, the relations between the sides have become tense.
Azerbaijani TV channels are actively involved in anti-Iranian
propaganda.
