Tehran and Baku Urged to Remain Alert Against Disruptive Threats

In a recent statement, President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized the strong and enduring relationship between Iran and Azerbaijan. He called for caution among politicians and cultural figures to prevent misunderstandings that could arise from the actions of a few individuals. This highlights the importance of unity and cooperation in fostering bilateral ties.

During his interview with Azerbaijan’s state-owned television network ahead of his visit, President Pezeshkian urged officials not to let petty disputes or the reckless behavior of a minority disrupt the harmonious relations between the two nations. “We love our brothers and sisters in the Republic of Azerbaijan with all our hearts; we consider them part of ourselves. We wish success, dignity, and prosperity for all our dear friends,” he stated.

The president strongly believes that enhancing Iran-Azerbaijan relations is crucial for both countries. By deepening their bilateral ties, they can expand collaboration within regional and international organizations. This expansion is expected to strengthen their economic capabilities and provide access to valuable regional knowledge, innovations, and technologies.

When discussing the future of Iran-Azerbaijan relations, Pezeshkian expressed Tehran’s readiness to share its experiences and achievements with Baku. He emphasized the importance of collaboration across various sectors, including:

  • Academia
  • Healthcare
  • Industry
  • Trade
  • Investment

He expressed optimism about his upcoming visit to Azerbaijan, hoping that discussions with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and meetings among officials will strengthen bilateral ties further.

One of the most significant points raised by President Pezeshkian is the strategic importance of the railway connecting Iran and Azerbaijan. This transport corridor is expected to significantly boost trade, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries. He noted that Azerbaijan could act as a crucial transit route for Iranian goods heading to Russia, while Iran could serve as a key transit hub for Azerbaijani products destined for global markets through the Persian Gulf.

Additionally, the president highlighted opportunities for joint clean energy projects along the Aras River, emphasizing potential cooperation in developing solar and wind energy resources. This collaboration could pave the way for sustainable energy solutions, benefiting both nations.

In addressing the ongoing peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, President Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to supporting the rights of both neighboring countries. He is dedicated to facilitating peaceful coexistence, which is vital for regional stability.

Regarding the disputes over the Zangezur Corridor, the president stressed the importance of respecting territorial integrity. He asserted that issues related to borders and territories between Azerbaijan and Armenia should be resolved through political and trade relations based on mutual respect for each other’s rights.

Furthermore, President Pezeshkian underscored the critical role of securing the road connecting Nakhchivan and Azerbaijan via Iran. He expressed hope that completing this corridor will address existing connectivity challenges, further enhancing the relationship between the two nations.

In conclusion, the remarks by President Masoud Pezeshkian reflect a strong commitment to fostering peaceful and cooperative relations between Iran and Azerbaijan.
