    According to Caliber.Az, the parliament speaker demanded a prompt and impartial investigation into the treacherous attack.

    "We strongly condemn the terrorist attack committed against the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Islamic Republic of Iran on the morning of January 27. We demand prompt and impartial investigation of this traitorous attack and punishment of perpetrators.

    May Allah give peace to the soul of our embassy employee, who died while preventing the attack, we express our deep condolences to his family and friends!" Sahiba Gafarova stressed.

    An armed attack on the Azerbaijani embassy in the Islamic Republic of Iran was committed on January 27 at about 8:30 (GMT+4).

    The attacker broke through to the security post and killed the head of the security service by using a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

    Two embassy security guards were injured while repulsing the attack. 

    Their condition is satisfactory.
