    "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).
