Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb.23 / Trend A. Huseynbala /

Azerbaijani-Iranian relations should intensify as the countries share a 657-kilometer border, Azerbaijani Parliamentary Speaker Oktay Asadov said after a recent visit to Iran.

An Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation headed by Asadov was on a visit to Iran upon the initiative of the Iranian Islamic Consultative Assembly from Feb. 20-22.

During the visit, meetings were held with all the Iranian state agencies.

"Nagorno-Karabakh issue was discussed at each meeting and the Iranian side confirmed its support for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity," Asadov said.

According to the speaker, Azerbaijan should establish ties at a high level not only with Iran but with all countries in the region.
