    Lawmaker: Azerbaijan relies on friendly countries' support

    Baku, May 9, IRNA

    The Republic of Azerbaijan relies and trusts support of friendly
    states in order to consolidate its independence, said an Azeri
    parliamentarian Aidin Mirzazadeh here on Monday.

    Lawmaker Mirzazadeh said Iran has always been the 'friend in need' of
    the government and people of Azerbaijan, highlighting Tehran's
    stances in support for Azerbaijan at the beginning of the Karabakh
    conflict with Armenia Republic.

    "Iran also supported Azerbaijan Republic's position on the first day
    of Karabakh dispute, offering worthy assistance to the refugees and
    the needy," said Mirzazadeh in an address to ceremonies for donating
    Iran's assistance to a group of Azeri needy children and youth,
    covered by the non-governmental organization of Azerbaijan's `Youth
    and Needy Children'.

    Iran's ambassador to Baku Afshar Soleimani told the gathering that
    the Islamic Republic of Iran has never left any stone unturned in
    providing assistance to the needy citizens of the friendly and
    neighboring country of Azerbaijan.

    Soleymani said Imam Khomeini Relief Committee and the Islamic
    Republic of Iran's Red Crescent Society have offered humanitarian
    relief aid to the poor and war refugees in Azerbaijan.

    He said Iran has always been in favor of Azerbaijan's development and
    improvement of the living and welfare standards of the republic's
    citizens.

    Soleymani said a bright prospect lies ahead for Iran-Azerbaijan
    relations, which is in the interest of Iranian and Azeri governments
    and people and is significant for the progress of the region.

    Azerbaijan's non-governmental organization of `Youth and Needy
    Children' covers more than 5,000 needy in Baku and different cities
    in the republic.
