Consul General of the Azerbaijan Republic Ali Alizade to the

the Iranian-Azerbaijani relations have historically common
roots.
The presidents of both countries have demonstrated political will
and decided to expand bilateral relations.
"Mutual visits of the officials have intensified in recent
years. During these visits, political, economic, social and
cultural relations are discussed and concrete decisions are made,"
the Azerbaijani diplomat said.
Touching upon the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
Alizade noted that Armenia is an aggressive state and has occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territory.
The Armenian aggressors implementing genocide against
Azerbaijanis tortured and killed innocent people in Khojaly, he

not return the occupied Azerbaijani lands back its economic
situation will be further deteriorated, he emphasized.

and religious traditions, the Consul General congratulated the
