An official of the Cultural Center of Iranian Embassy in Azerbaijan
has been deported from the country, Iranian news website Ghafghaz.ir
reported.
Despite the fact that the Iranian diplomat had an official passport
and three months visa from the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran, he was
deported from Azerbaijan from Astara Customs House while returning
from leave, said the Iranian website.
“Azerbaijan’s unfriendly attitude to Iranian diplomats is not limited
to this. Azerbaijan recently refused to issue one-year visa to Iranian
Supreme Leader’s representative in Baku.
Azerbaijan puts pressure on Iranian diplomats working in Azerbaijan
and limits their activities, while Iran one-sidedly lifted visa
requirements for Azerbaijani citizens two years ago.”
