The Azerbaijani authorities intend to extradite 21 Iranian prisoners, including three women to Iran, Iran’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan Abbas Musavi said today, Tasnim reported.

The diplomat stated that the imprisoned citizens of Iran will be sent home in the next few days.

According to Musavi, the decision on extradition is the result of the ‘prolific visit’ of Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian to Baku.

Over the past years, Iran and Azerbaijan have extradited several prisoners of war a few times as evidence of the close diplomatic relations between the two countries.
