Azerbaijan broke away Iran due to the ignorance of the Qajar  kings. Ali Fadavi, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps of Iran, stated this, wrote the “Diary of an Iranian journalist” Telegram channel.

"The people of Azerbaijan are Shia, which did not lose their true Shia beliefs under the pressure of the 70-year communist rule. As a rule, there should be a government that should pay special attention to that Shia majority in Azerbaijan," Fadavi added.
