Iranian speaker: Officials must be cautious with use of superfluous commentary toward foreign neighbors

Officials must be cautious not to damage Iran’s relations with neighboring Moslem countries by using unnecessary and unreasonable remarks, the FARS news agency quotes Iranian Parliamentarian Speaker Ali Larijani as saying.

"The Iranian Islamic Republic’s strategy has been establishing close, sincere, and friendly relations with neighboring countries since Imam Khomeini’s time. Establishing friendly relations with neighboring countries is Iran’s priority. Officials should be very careful when making political statements", Larijani said.

Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Mohammad Bagher Bahrami, was summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry on Aug. 11 due to unreasonable statements made by the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Seyyed Hassan Firouzabadi toward Azerbaijan.

Receiving Bahrami, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Nadir Huseynov delivered the Azerbaijani protest.
