Baku, 30 May: Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev
held a press conference on 30 May.
First, the ministry's new website was presented. Elman Abdullayev said
that from now on, all meetings and events held by our embassies in
foreign countries would be promptly hosted on the website. Information
on Armenian occupation of the Azerbaijani lands, the occupation of
Nagornyy Karabakh have been posted on a special section. One of the
novelties is that the visitors will be able to move directly to the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Later, Abdullayev commented on an Iranian citizen [Iranian Supreme
Leader Seyyed Ali Khamene'i's representative Farid Asiri] who was
sent back to Iran from Baku airport. He said that the Iranian citizen
was barred from entering the country in line with the Azerbaijani
legislation and that there was nothing surprising about it.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman denied some media reports that
Azerbaijan has recalled its envoy from Iran and said that Azerbaijan
is not going to sever diplomatic ties with Iran.
Moreover, on 30 May, the Foreign Ministry handed over a diplomatic note
to the Iranian embassy in Baku to get information on the fate of two
Azerbaijani citizens who were taken to an unknown direction in Iran
under unknown circumstances. Although, this was the third note, Iran
has not provided any information on the reasons for their detention. If
Iran does not respond to this note, relevant steps will be taken.
