Shots were recently fired at the Iranian-Azerbaijani border, as a result of
which Iran warned Azerbaijan that a fitting response will be given to such
steps. Iran then closed the Julfa checkpoint.
Expert on Iran Rudik Yaralian said that the checkpoint's closing was not
advantageous to Iran. `The recent border incident was more advantageous to
Azerbaijan that tries to prevent contacts on the Iranian-Azerbaijani
border, particularly the contacts of Talyshs with Iran,' Yaralian said.
In his words, Talyshs' contacts with Iran cause panic of the Azerbaijani
leadership. R. Yaralian expressed an opinion that Azerbaijan continues to
take an anti-Iranian position in the South Caucasus and that anti-Iranian
forces may rely on Azerbaijan.
