The statement reads: "We strongly condemn the treacherous terrorist attack against the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran. As the country where the embassy is located, the Iranian side had to fulfill its obligation to ensure its security and employees' safety following the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

"There have been attempts to threaten our diplomatic mission in Iran before, and issues on taking measures to prevent such situations and ensure the safety of our diplomatic missions have been constantly raised before Iran. Unfortunately, the last bloody terrorist attack demonstrates the serious consequences of not showing proper sensitivity to our urgent appeals.

"We think the recent anti-Azerbaijani campaign against our country in Iran has encouraged such attacks against our diplomatic mission. We strongly demand that the perpetrators of the terrorist attack and the masterminds behind it be identified as soon as possible and punished in the most severe manner by Iran.

" The Azerbaijani side will use all the opportunities provided by the relevant international mechanisms to ensure that the culprits are identified and receive a proper punishment. It is planned to take appropriate measures for the evacuation of the embassy employees and their family members in the situation resulting from the terrorist attack.”
