"Taking into account the historical, cultural, religious, linguistic and ethnic affinities, there is great and continuous interest in mutual visits between the peoples of the two countries, and the statistical indicators of recent years confirm this fact," said newly appointed Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Azerbaijan, Mojtaba Demirchilu in an interview with APA.
According to him along with enabling the peoples to get to know each other more closely for the comprehensive development of tourism, simplifying the movement of citizens is a fundamental and necessary condition.
The diplomat noted that optimizing and reducing travel time and expenses are among the main driving factors for the development of tourism: "For this purpose, Iran has abolished the visa requirement for Azerbaijani citizens, and they can travel to Iran without any additional difficulties.
In addition, direct flights between the two countries were recently restored, and it is planned to significantly increase the number of flights to various cities of the two countries in the future. We also hope that the full opening of land borders will create conditions for simplifying and expanding mutual travel between the citizens of the two countries."
