Azerbaijan, Baku, 3 May / Trend T. Jafarov /

The arrest of people who committed crimes in Azerbaijan and Iran is a common action and cannot harm the friendly relations between the two countries, Ambassador of Iran to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pakayin told Trend in connection with the citizen of Azerbaijan, worker of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Khalida Khalid arrested in Iran.

"Currently there are 170 Iranian prisoners in in Azerbaijan, including lawyers and people of science. It is incorrect to focus on the fact that the detainee is a scientist. It is good news that ANAS declared that it did not send this person to Iran. You can be sure that no one can be detained in Iran without a reason," Pakayin said.

According to him, the governments of both countries demonstrate the political will to ensure that such incidents do not adversely impact the bilateral relations.
