"We strongly condemn the treacherous terrorist attack against the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Islamic Republic of Iran," says Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan on its statement, Ednews reports.

"As the country where the embassy is located, the Iranian side had to fulfill its obligation to ensure the protection of the embassy and the safety of its employees arising from the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

There have been attempts to threaten our diplomatic mission in Iran before, and measures to prevent such situations and to ensure the safety of our diplomatic missions have been constantly raised before Iran. Unfortunately, the last bloody terrorist attack demonstrates the serious consequences of not showing proper sensitivity to our urgent appeals in this direction.

We are of the opinion that the recent anti-Azerbaijani campaign against our country in Iran led to such attacks against our diplomatic mission.

We strongly demand Iran identify and punish the perpetrators of the mentioned terrorist attack, as well as the orderers of this bloody act as soon as possible in the most severe manner.

The Azerbaijani side will use all the opportunities given by the relevant international mechanisms in order to identify the perpetrators and ensure a decent punishment.

It is planned to take appropriate measures to evacuate the embassy employees and their family members in the situation that occurred as a result of the terrorist attack," noted in the statement."
