    WikiLeaks:Aliyev believes Iran can do something against them

    In the documents of the US State Department published by the
    `WikiLeaks' still appear new disgraceful expressions left behind the
    political veil and interpretations made by the Azerbaijani President
    Ilham Aliev.

    President Aliyev stated to the Ambassador that the USG and
    international community's policy towards Iran has "failed," that Iran
    is "confident, comfortable, and unconstrained," that he "does not
    understand USG policy on Iran" and, consequently, Azerbaijan's policy
    must be to "minimize potential risks" to Azerbaijan. Aliyev also said
    that Iranian President Ahmadinejad has affirmed that he has "burned
    his bridges" on the nuclear issue and warned Aliyev directly that Iran
    will "attack from where it is attacked." President Aliyev believes it
    is "always possible Iran will do something against us." President
    Aliyev's foreign policy advisor and the Foreign Minister have voiced
    similar concerns; the Foreign Minister has again told the Ambassador
    that Iran is planning various scenarios in response to heightened
    tensions or military action, which the GOAJ believes will include a
    provocation against Azerbaijani interests on the Caspian, where the
    international legal framework remains unclear. A recent
    anti-Azerbaijani editorial which appeared in the Iranian newspaper
    Jomhouri Eslami (reported incorrectly in the Azerbaijani press as
    having been written by Supreme Leader Khamenei) appears to be driving
    much of the GOAJ's concerns. In sum, the GOAJ at the most senior
    levels has communicated to us in stark terms their concern about the
    implications for Azerbaijani security of the current situation in
    Iran, and their desire to better understand USG policy to address it -
    and its implications. This will impact our ability to work with the
    GOAJ on a range of issues; we need to address their concern.
