Azerbaijani political scientists agree in views that the construction of the U.S radar station in the territory of the country must not affect negatively the Azerbaijani-Iranian relations, Trend reports. Commenting negative reaction of some Iranian mass media on the issue, Vafa Guluzada, the former adviser to the Azerbaijani President, noted that the position of Iran is natural. “Iran must understand that Azerbaijan peruses its own goals, but the United States carries out its own plans in the region,” he underlined.
“Iran must regard extending of the cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States as normal,” Uzeyir Jafarov, the military expert noted in his turn. Issue of license on construction of radar station is internal affair of Azerbaijan. “If Iran strengthen it relations with Armenia, but Azerbaijan does not regard it as serious danger for its national interests, then Iran must accept the fact of development of the Azerbaijani-U.S. relations,” he added.
In his turn, MP Anar Mammadkhanov stressed that the Iranian-Azerbaijani relations would be subjected to any serious changes. “Iran must understand that Azerbaijan takes the steps not for pleasure, but to ensure national interests,” he said.
