    Iran claims Azerbaijan emerged on historic Iranian land - expert

    March 31, 2012 - 13:46 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Following the deterioration of bilateral relations
    between Iran and Azerbaijan, statements claiming that Azerbaijan, as a
    state, emerged only in 1918, gain official voicing, expert in Iranian
    studies said.

    `Iranian officials often refer to Azerbaijan as former Iranian
    territory,' Armen Israelyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

    Iran's representatives claim that Azerbaijan emerged in the territory
    of historic Iranian Shirvan province.

    Besides, Iran repeatedly speaks of violations of rights and pressures
    against national minorities in Azerbaijan. Some officials hint that
    Azerbaijan further distances itself from the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    resolution, the expert said.

    Israelyan believes that Armenia must use the situation to deepen and
    develop its ties with Iran.
