What Azerbaijan has done so far is take back its territorial integrity. That is, with the events of recent weeks, it has been able to re-exercise complete sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Lieutenant General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, as he addressed the ceremony marking the start of the new academic year at the Supreme National Defense University in Tehran, Iran, according to Mehr News Agency.
“From now on, we have two neighbors, Azerbaijan and Armenia, in the Caucasus, both of which are respected by us, and maintaining their territorial integrity is important to us, and this is an issue that we have emphasized in our meetings and talks with the officials of both countries,” Bagheri noted.
