Azerbaijan, Baku, May 14 /Trend, M.Aliyev/
The main reason for the recent statement by Iranian official religious leaders interfering recently in the internal affairs of Azerbaijan is that in the near future, Iran will not be able to assist Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, the chairman of the Center for Political Innovation and Technologies Mubariz Ahmedoglu told Trend on May 14.
"Simply Iran says it not directly, but indirectly. Large quantities of Iran's military equipment are located in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. Iranian experts participated in installing security systems for Armenia in these territories. If these territories are liberated from occupation in the near future, Iran's activities in these areas will be revealed. Therefore, Iran incites religious persons in Azerbaijan. Located in Azerbaijan and being considered the fifth column of Iran, the religious individuals are in direct contact not only with religious leaders of Iran, but also cooperate with the special service agencies of this country," said Ahmedoglu.
Several days ago, Ayatollah Shirazi condemned the demolition of mosques in Azerbaijan, and warned the government that if the destruction of mosques continues, it will call for resistance and announce the martyrs those who died on this path.
The political scientist believes that Azerbaijani believers display double interest in the issue of the mosque.
"First, they want to pressure the government of Azerbaijan through Iran because for some personal reasons, they are dissatisfied with the government. Secondly, the mosque for them is means to earn money. Official religious leaders of Iran should know that the support of corporate interests of such "pious" can damage the Azerbaijani-Iranian relations," said Ahmedoglu.
