Iran and Azerbaijan will not allow the insinuations of evildoers to affect the relations between the two nations. This was announced by the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, during a phone talk with the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.

He expressed his condolences on the death of the head of the security service of the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Tehran, who was killed in the morning of January 27, during the attack on the embassy.

Referring to the measures taken by relevant departments to investigate the attack on the embassy, the Iranian president expressed his sympathy to the people and government of Azerbaijan. He noted that the friendly and brotherly relations between the two peoples of Iran and Azerbaijan are based on inseparable cultural and historical ties, adding that the governments of Iran and Azerbaijan will not allow the insinuations of evildoers to affect those relations.

Aliyev, in turn, thanked the Iranian president for expressing sympathy to Azerbaijan, saying that it is an unexpected crime, but the cooperation of the two countries should be so strong that no one has the opportunity to violate friendly relations.

Earlier, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian condemned the attack on the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran, saying that the enemies should not be allowed to take advantage of this incident, while noting that the incident was not terrorism.
