According to him, measures are being taken to obtain the necessary permits for Azerbaijani citizens, as well as citizens of other countries, who wish to leave Iran through the land border.

“As of today, more than 600 Azerbaijani citizens have applied to cross the border, and 180 of them have already entered the territory of Azerbaijan.
