He made the remark in an interview with journalists on the details of the meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Ceyhun Bayramov held in Jeddah, APA reports.

The Iranian minister said that during the meeting, the court verdict against the perpetrator of the terrorist attack on the Azerbaijani embassy was discussed.
