Not even Nobel winner is able to develop Armenian economy – expert

[doritos]

I thought no country can buy arms from Iran because of UN sanctions

 

[ResurgentIran]

Yeah, We all know that you how much care for your shia brothers.
Anyway, I did not know that opening a route for transporting Russian aids to armenia is a help for Azerbaijanis.
Anyway, You did all you could do to help armenians, and you are hated by all Azerbaijanis and other Turkic people in Iran in return. Don't worry, since you will pay the price some day. BTW, while Azerbaijan is having one of the biggest economic growth rates, your regime is going to the trash of history with the speed of light.
@Ostad @ghara ghan look at farsis comments

You continue to use word "farsis" and say a lot of nonsense sow discord and division. Azaris are integral part of Iranian society and are the most patriotic Iranians you will find. I know several of them in Sweden, Denmark and Iran.
Hate for Iran? lol dream on little buddy.
But Im not going to sink down to your level. Unlike you, I dont have this ethnic complex and I dont define myself in ethnic terms.
Im an Iranian national.

Commander: Iran Supplying Part of Azerbaijan's Military Needs

TEHRAN (FNA)- Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces General Hassan Firouzabadi stressed further expansion of cooperation with Baku, and said Tehran is supplying Azerbaijan with a part of its needs to weapons and equipment.
Firouzabadi made the remarks on the sidelines of a meeting with Azeri Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov in Tehran on Tuesday.

"During the last 10 years, the Iranian and Azeri defense ministers have had numerous meetings and we have had cooperation plans and the Republic of Azerbaijan supplies part of its needs from Iran's defense industries," he said.

He also referred to his meeting with Hasanov, and said, "At this meeting, we underlined expansion of relations and preparedness of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Armed Forces to establish training relations, have friendly meetings and render technical aid and services which will lead to supplying more weapons to the Republic of Azerbaijan."

Firouzabadi also said that Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan and Hasanov also held a meeting which resulted in the achievement of good understanding by the two sides.

In relevant remarks on Monday, Dehqan announced Tehran's readiness to supply Baku with its needed military equipment and trainings.

"The principled policy of the 11th government, specially President Rouhani, is based on the development of mutual cooperation with the neighboring countries and the Republic of Azerbaijan has an important position in the Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy," Dehqan said in a meeting with Hasanov in Tehran.

He stressed Iran's preparedness to supply Baku with its military needs, and expressed the hope that Hasanov's visit would pave the ground for the further promotion of defense and military relations between the two countries.

Hasanov, for his part, referred to Iran and Azerbaijan's cultural, historical, political and religious commonalities, and said, "Iran is a great regional country and Azerbaijan's friend and neighbor and cooperation with Tehran is a top priority in our country's foreign policy."

Iran has recently enhanced efforts to boost political, economic and cultural ties and cooperation with the regional and neighboring countries, specially the Central Asian states.

On Wednesday, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev called for the further consolidation of relations between Tehran and Baku, and warned of enemies' plots to sow discord between them.

During the meeting in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei describes the two countries' neighborhood and religious, cultural and historical ties as effective factors at the service of further strengthening of bilateral relations, and said, "The relations between the two nations and the two governments should become stronger with the passage of each new day."

He said that strengthening of the governments' relations with their nations and their religious beliefs guarantees their success.

Ayatollah Khamenei warned that there are some tendencies that are after promotion of religious extremism and sowing the seeds of discord among the followers of different Islamic schools of thought. "Such tendencies should not be permitted to achieve their objectives, including disturbing countriesˈ national unity."

"The current level of the two countriesˈ transactions is very low keeping in mind the two sidesˈ capacities and broad potentials and I hope this visit would serve as a prelude for a broad economic and regional cooperation," he reiterated.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that some, including the Zionist regime, are not pleased with the strengthening of relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan and keep disrupting its process, but relying on serious and resolute political will such intrigues will defeat.

President Aliyev, for his part, underlined that the atmosphere of the bilateral negotiations is very constructive, and added, "The joint Iran-Azerbaijan commission began its activities right today and this visit will serve as a platform for the improvement of comprehensive relation, including in industrial, commercial, transportation, and tourism fields."

He said that religious extremism and the need to counter it is among the shared serious concerns of both countries.

President Aliyev also referred to the historical and cultural relations between the two countries, stressing Baku's strong and resolute will for the expansion of comprehensive relations with Tehran.

Baku: No One Can Use Azerbaijan to Attack Iran

TEHRAN (FNA)- Azeri Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov underlined that Baku will never allow any country or entity, including the Zionist regime, to set up a military base in Azerbaijan.
"The Republic of Azerbaijan's constitution rules that never can an alien state have a military base in the country," Hasanov told reporters after meeting his Iranian counterpart Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan in Tehran on Tuesday.

He underscored that no threat would face neighbors from Azerbaijan's territories as the country will not allow any third party to use it as a platform for launching attacks on the neighboring nations.

"This has always been the Republic of Azerbaijan's policy and we have always laid emphasis on this view at international and regional bodies," Hasanov reiterated.

In relevant remarks in September 2012, Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov underlined that his country would not allow enemies to use its soil as a launch pad for attacking other countries, specially Iran.

"Azerbaijan will never allow an action against Iran from its soil," Mammadyarov said at a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit here in Tehran at the time.

"The age-old history and culture of the two nations doesn't allow anyone to harm the brotherly ties between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan," he added.

His remarks came after Iran warned Azerbaijan not to allow Israel to use the country's territory as a launch pad to stage terrorist activities against the Islamic Republic.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi made the remarks during a meeting with Azeri Ambassador to Iran Javanshir Akhundov in Tehran late in February 2012.

The warning came in response to reports that Azerbaijan had signed a $1.6 billion deal with Israel for the purchase of drones and anti-aircraft and missile systems.

Iranian regime is a joke. Their genral firouzabadi is an animal doctor, and has medical degree in this regard and has not attended any military training or any war or ... . It can only happen in mullahland.
BTW, the mullah news is BS as always. You should be wondered if sometime one of their news becomes true.

It says so much seeing Iranians supporting Armenia. Azerbaijan just got independence and Armenia too.They didn't have weapons, while Armenia got support from Russia and Iran. Luckily Azerbaijan is one of the strongest army at the caspian see. They definitely have more modern army then Iran and probably stronger than Iran if we count Azeri in Iran. Azerbaijan only counts on himself but we know Georgia and Turkey are also behind them. Sooner or later they will get Karabakh and some of us here don't want that. Unfortunately it is not only the stance of certain members here but also their government.

Psssst. Hey wolf, come here. Wanna tell you something wolf.

Iran are forging better ties with Azerbaijan and I think this really irks you.
Because you and other Turks on the forum loose that platform on which you can rally around this anti-Iran or "grey wolf" propaganda. loool

To be honest, I question whether or not you genuinly give a **** about Nagorno-Kabarakh conflict. I really suspect that deep inside, you in fact do not.

 

[F117]

They can "gift" that piece of land to us instead, at the last minute.

What is your source that Azerbaijan didn't have weapons? I don't think this forum should become a novel book for people to write down fictive stories.
We are asking what source you have that Azerbaijan did not have weapons?

Only "far far far far far" sound coming from a Farsi. Since when is Azerbaijan closer to Iran than Turkey? Can you prove this with sources? Iran didn't even support Azerbaijan independence.

Weapons is not the only thing, they also got intel from Russia. Point is Russia and Iran helped Armenia and today Iran is also helping Armenia. Why do you keep borders open while Armenians are occupying Azeri land? They are shia.

Hahahaha thanks for proving my point mr wolf.
You really only care about who Azerbaijan is the most close to rather than giving a flying **** the conflicts surrounding the country.
Like I said, if Iran-Azerbaijan relations get better than that is worse for you pan-Turks, than Iran supporting Armenia.
At least if Iran is with Armenia, you would still have that platform to rally around against Iran for the greater "Turkic cause" so that is what you prefer rather than Iran and Azerbaijan reconciliating.

Hilarious!!

 

[Serpentine]

Some people just blindly repeat this lie that "Iran has helped Armenia" without even having proper proof or knowledge. People should learn not to blame their incompetence on others.
Iran never ever gave any military assistance to Armenia, however it did give Armenia some food and energy supplies, just like how it welcomed thousands of Azezbaijani refugees. Iran was the only regional country that advocated a peace process between 2 countries by inviting leaders of both countries to Tehran. Iran was the one who waned Armenia to stop its military advancements after capturing the Nagorno-Karabakh region and they could indeed capture even more lands with their advancement speed.

In the middle of all this, the incompetent president of Azerbaijan, Abulfaz Elchibey, did the most stupid thing by claiming Iranian lands and promoting separatism in Iran. hence the relations with Iran deteriorated naturally.He was trying to act like some kind of hero, but no one gave a damn about his calls. Even then, Iran didn't give military assistance to any side, but gave humanitarian supplies to both Azerbaijan and Armenia and also transferred supplies to Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhichivan, just like now. It's getting sickening to hear this lie being repeated again and again on this forum.

 

[xenon54 out]

And now Azerbaijan and Iran became best friends against Turkey?

 

[Shapur Zol Aktaf]

Well you said Azerbaijan had no weapons, I asked you to give us a source, then you answer "weapons is not the only thing"

I gave you proof that Iran helped Azerbaijan many times during that war. Also azerbayjan is not shia orientated since they made aggressive remarks about our lands.
Even the chechens who came to Azerbaijan to fight Armenians left saying this war is pure nationalistic.
So what do we get if we block Armenia? of course we are going to stay neutral this time. Helping Azerbaijan is like helping MB of Egypt. They'll come back and slap Iran.

 

[ResurgentIran]

And now Azerbaijan and Iran became best friends against Turkey?

Who said that?

I was making a point to mr delusional wolf that Iran-Azerbaijan reconciliation is worse for his ilk, because they loose their platform on which they can rally around the "Turkic struggle against racist farsis". Such nonsense

Iran is best friend of Azerbaijan and helped Azerbaijan during the war


The Islamic Republic of Iran staunchly supports Armenia over the dispute on Nagorno Karabakh, The Washintgon Times reports in an analytical piece.

“In fact, Iran has been threatening Azerbaijan for more than a decade,” reads the article.

“Iran has staunchly supported Armenia’s conquest of undisputed Azerbaijani territory in the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis to the point that Armenia regularly votes against sanctions on Iran in the United Nations,” it adds.

Further, it says that in 2001, Iran shot up an Azerbaijani oil-exploration platform in the Caspian Sea. Apart from blocking the legal resolution of that sea’s status, Iran regularly threatens Azerbaijan with invasion and other unspecified military action if it supports a US base in its country and because of its close ties with Israel.

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sparked in the early 1990s when Karabakhi Armenians voiced their intention to live independently and later spiralled into a bloody war, leaving around 30,000 killed and more than a million displaced.

Baku. Konul Jafarli – APA. Iran supported Armenian militants during Karabakh war, says an article published by Irdiplomacy, one of the famous Iranian websites, APAreports.



The article says Nagorno Karabakh declared its independence in 1992 and Armenia seized power there: “Azerbaijan waged the war as it wanted to get back Karabakh. Iran supported Armenian militants in Karabakh. It caused Azerbaijan’s rapprochement with Israel against Iran.”
