Allahshukur Pashazadeh’s Iran visit will be unproductive, Azerbaijani
political analyst Vafa Guluzade told Azadliq newspaper in an
interview, according to haqyolu.com Persian language webpage.

Speaking of the scheduled Iran visit of the head of the Caucasus
Muslims Office (CMO), the Azerbaijani analyst said, `Iran wants
Azerbaijan to take practical moves and justify its expectations. But
Azerbaijan is unable to do it. I think Pashazadeh’s Iran visit will be
unproductive.’

Commenting on the recent tension in Iran-Azerbaijan relations, the
author of the article says, `Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has
three times been invited to visit Iran but none of the visits took
place. To please Iran, the Azerbaijani authorities have sent head of
the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev and head of
the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration’s department for social
and political affairs Ali Hasanov to Tehran but both visits were
unsuccessful.’

`This time the Azerbaijani authorities are sending Pashazadeh to Iran
hopeful that he can solve the existing problems as a result of a
meeting with Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,’ the
author concludes.

According to the Iranian news agency IRIB, head of the Caucasus
Muslims Office Allahshukur Pashazadeh is today leaving for Iran on an
official visit.
