Azerbaijan strongly rejects the Iranian parliament’s unfounded accusations.

Everyone should know that Azerbaijan is an independent state, and how it builds relations with other countries is its internal business, Gafarova added.

We call on the Iranian parliament to stop such provocations against Azerbaijan and refrain from actions that could damage bilateral relations," the speaker stressed.
