New Iranian Ambassador to arrive in Azerbaijan

The newly appointed Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) to Azerbaijan will arrive in Azerbaijan on August 21.

Seyed Abbas Mousavi has been the head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran since April 2019.

Iran has an embassy in Baku and a consulate-general in Nakhchivan City, while Azerbaijan has an embassy in Tehran and a consulate-general in Tabriz. Official diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and Iran were established after the collapse of the Soviet Union. To a large extent, Iran and Azerbaijan share the same history, religion, ethnicity, and culture.[1
