The embassy of Iran to Azerbaijan has refuted the statement related to Azerbaijan.
The refutation sent by the embassy says, "According to instructions of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, reports related to the statement of the Chief of Staff of Iran`s Armed Forces Sayyid Hassan Firouzabadi are refuted.
The mentioned statement has nothing to do with Mr. Firouzabadi and the information spread is a result of misunderstanding in the media."
