He said that he was concerned about the aggravation of Iran-Azerbaijan relations: â€œThere are objective problems between Azerbaijan and Iran. We mustnâ€™t forget that a great part, 40% of Iranian population is the Turks. The Iranian officials announced itâ€.

Karimli said there were discontents in division of the depth of the Caspian Sea: â€œThough the Public Chamber sees Azerbaijanâ€™s future in the European family, we want the normal relations with Iran and Russiaâ€.

Karimli underlined the recent attempts for artificial aggravation of relations: â€œThe aggravation of relations doesnâ€™t benefit any country. It is wrong to create tensions between the two countries because of private affairsâ€.

Musavat Chairman Isa Gambar noted that first of all the Azerbaijanis living in that country had to be taken into account in Iran-Azerbaijan relations: â€œThe officials in the Iranian government understand that the development of the northern Azerbaijan, its integration into the world can have negative impact on Iranian regime.â€

According to Gambar, Iran considers Azerbaijan as a weak link and tries to show its power by continuing these attacks.
