Azerbaijan Denounces Iran For Ties with Armenia

BAKU (RFE/RL)–Official Baku has indicated its strong disapproval of Iran’s deepening commercial ties with Armenia, with pro-government members of Azerbaijan’s parliament accusing Tehran of pursuing an “anti-Azerbaijani” policy in the region.
In a series of strongly-worded statements made on the parliament floor on Tuesday, they demanded that the Azerbaijani government reconsider and scale back its relations with the Iranians.
“Iran is consistently pursuing a policy directed against Azerbaijan,” one of them, Zahid Oruj, charged, according to the Baku daily “Zerkalo.” “Even the unilateral [Iranian] cancellation of the visa regime is a component of its anti-Azerbaijani strategy. Iran is engaged in illegal exports of narcotics into our territory and supports Armenia by all means.”
“I call on Azerbaijanis to discontinue visits to the neighboring country in protest,” Oruj said.
“The anti-Azerbaijani policy implemented by the Iranian authorities has been more active of late and is causing concern in Baku,” another lawmaker loyal to President Ilham Aliyev was quoted by the Novosti-Azerbaijan news agency as saying.
The deputies seemed particularly incensed by Armenian Energy Minister Armen Movsisian’s latest visit to Tehran during which the Armenian and Iranian governments reaffirmed plans to implement more joint energy projects.
Iran’s Oil Minister Massoud Mirkazemi said they will press ahead with the construction of a pipeline designed to pump Iranian petrol and other oil products to Armenia. The two sides also plan to soon begin the construction of two hydro-electric stations on the Arax river marking the Armenian-Iranian border.
“This [pipeline] agreement between Armenia and Iran directly threatens Azerbaijan’s interests,” said Azay Guliyev, another Azerbaijani deputy. “The Iranian side doesn’t take Azerbaijan’s interests into account and considers Armenia to be among its friends.”
Iran has repeatedly signed up to Azerbaijani-drafted resolutions by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) accusing Armenia of unleashing aggression against Azerbaijan. But that has not kept the Islamic Republic from developing a warm rapport with its sole Christian neighbor.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has personally promoted the implementation of the Armenian-Iranian projects. Visiting Baku in November, Ahmadinejad was careful, however, not to take sides in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Azerbaijani politicians and pundits have long accused the Iranian leadership of hypocrisy. The Azerbaijani government has until now avoided endorsing such accusations or publicly demanding that Iran join in Azerbaijan’s and Turkey’s long-running economic blockade of Armenia.
During their November talks, Aliyev referred to Ahmadinejad as a “brother” and said Azerbaijani-Iranian relations are currently “at the highest level.”

      Իհարկե, սրա հրապարակումն իմաստ ունի: Անհրաժեշտ է նույն Իրանին մեկ անգամ ևս հիշեցնել, որ իրենց կողքին գտնվում է շատ բաներով հենց իրենց պարտական մի արհեստական ինքնակոչ պետություն, որը հիմա էլ մի բան էլ քննադատում է Իրանին:

    Ties with Armenia isn’t anti-Azerbaijani policy. Iranian has found two dear neighbors after a century of separation. This is very exiting event. Problem between Armenia and Azerbaijan is too small in Iranian eyes to take side. Zahid Oruj should grow up or have his brain checked.

    The historical ties between Armenia & Iran are very old indeed, yes we have had some major battles against the Persians, and we lost most of the wars, but never have Armenians lived in peace & prosperity in ME than in Iran. Armenian is Iran are respected and treated at times even better. And Iranian Armenians are the most loyal of Iranian people.
    On the other hand Azerbajian simply does not understand the relationship, they favour Turkey in all areas , back stab their Iranian neighbours and demand that Iran betrays its 3000 year old relationship with Armenia and Armenians.
    I dont think so. Iranians are a lot smarter and wiser than the average azeri, that are oblivious to historical and geopolitical relationships.
    As an Armenian Iranian I applaud the stance of all previous and current govenrnments of Iran for providing a safe homeland for all Armenians & other minorities that have lived and prospered in Iran and have become loyal citizens for centuries.

    This is just a way of Azerbaijan to scear all the Armenian neighbor.
    “if you are supporting Armenia then your not a true muslim” is what they are trying to push Iran with.
    Pathetic.
    Their ultimate goal is to Isolate Armenia even more…

    It also should be noted that Azerbaijan–in the past and even today–has made territorial claims in Northern Iran, particularly the Tabriz province. There is also a large Azeri population in Northern Iran. Iranians are smart enough to know their genuine enemies compared to their genuine friends.

    I, for one, propose an annexation of Azerbaijan and the formation of a North Persian Azerbaijan Province leading to friendly relations among all Caucasian neighbors… Thus eliminating those pesky ongoing issues such as threats of war with Armenia, claims on NK (my ancestral) lands, claims on South Azerbaijan, Israeli spy operations, US oil company infiltrations, a settlement of Caspian Sea right-of-ways & an end to Pan-Turanistic daydreams…

    I as Armenian and Persian in Blood and culture with Greece too would like to say this this , from what I read above I support the armenian iranian, and azeri friendship but a friendship (iran and azerbaijan) doesn’t mean and doesn’t give them the right to persue negative goals agaisnt armenia and iran friendship because any one who tries to break a an old friendship armenia and iran does not know what real friendship is about “iran and azerbaijan ,really.

    South Azerbaijan belongs to Azerbaijanis and they must re-unite with the North. It has nothing to do with Iran-Armenia releations. I’m an Azerbaijani. I was born in Iran but as soon as I turned 20 I moved to the Republic of Azerbaijan, applied for a citizenship and even served in the Army. I’m not persian, neither are the other 30 million Azerbaijanis living in Iran. We are Azerbaijanis. We belong in Azerbaijan. With Gods help, we will be together soon. Long live the great Turkish nation

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
