Ambassador: 'We should increase number of flights to Azerbaijan'
By Nigar Abbasova
The number of flights from Iran to Azerbaijan should be increased, given the constantly growing interest of tourists in the country, said Mohsun Pakayin, Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan.
Pakayin, who will soon complete his diplomatic mission in the country, made the remark while addressing the meeting with Azerbaijan’s Minister of Culture and Tourism Abulfas Garayev.
Some 18 flights are operated from Iran to Azerbaijan on a monthly basis, while interest of Iranian tourists in the country is growing steadily.
Garayev, in turn, said that the two countries are rapidly developing relations in the sphere of tourism and culture, mentioning that the growing number of Iranian tourists visiting Azerbaijan creates good opportunities for further development of ties between Azerbaijani and Iranian tourism companies.
The sides have also exchanged views on the latest 4-year development of bilateral relations between the two countries, as well as the forthcoming culture days of Azerbaijan, which are due in Iran. As noted, a delegation of Azerbaijan is recently to visit the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry earlier appointed Javad Jahangirzadeh (who served as deputy head of the Parliament Research Center from June 2012 to May 2016) as the Islamic Republic’s new ambassador to Azerbaijan,
