Establishment of normal relations with Iran is one of the priorities of the foreign policy of the Azerbaijani stateâ€, head of the Socio-Political Department of the Presidentâ€™s Administration Ali Hasanov said while replying to journalists’ questions about the burning of the Azerbaijani flag in front of the Azerbaijani consulate in Tabriz, APA reports.

Hasanov also said that both in Iranian side and among the forces around Azerbaijan, there are persons who donâ€™t want normal relations between the two countries: "They are trying to damage that relationship. Being the Azerbaijani state we are against such attempts, and try to prevent themâ€.

Head of the Department emphasized that it is wrong to link all this with the state: "However, unfortunately, Iran has not taken sufficient measures against these attempts. In particular, it is worth noting that the Iranian TV channel "Sahar" serves to tense the socio-political situation in Azerbaijan, to deny the processes occurring in the life of the neighboring country, to change and falsify their essence. We, as a nation, express our protest against such attempts and have already expressed dissatisfaction with the relevant bodies of Iran. "
