Foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Iran and Russia will soon hold a trilateral meeting to discuss the issue of implementing the agreements reached during the talks held between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hossein Jaber Ansar told APA.

 

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Ansari said the implementation of the agreements reached in Tehran between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Iran will give impetus not only to the development of relations between the two countries also the strengthening of relations with other neighboring countries.

 

According to the spokesperson, President Ilham Aliyev’s visit to Tehran will have a significant impact on the development of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Iran, the two friendly and brotherly countries.

 

Asked about the possible visa cancellation by Azerbaijan for Iranian citizens, Ansari said that Azerbaijani side doesn’t have such an idea yet. “We will provide any new information in this regard,” he added.

 

With regard to the Syrian crisis, he said some terrorist groups continue violating the ceasefire that came into effect in Syria at midnight on February 27.

 

“The [ceasefire violation] is consistent with the interests of some terrorist groups. We demand the countries having a role in Syria to support the implementation of the ceasefire agreement,” Ansari stressed.

 

Asked about Iran’s military involvement in Syria and Iraq, the spokesperson said Iran is constantly holding consultations with the two countries and steps are being taken at the request of the governments of these countries.

 

The continuation of these consultations depends on the state of the conflicts and the willingness of both Syria and Iraq, Ansari concluded
