ArmInfo. The regime in Baku is trying to link the resumption of the activities of the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran with the election of the Iranian president, but this is a deception. A similar opinion was expressed by the head of the Department of Iranian Studies of the Faculty of Oriental Studies of Yerevan State University (YSU), Vardan Voskanyan.
He stated that Azerbaijan reopened its so-called embassy in Tehran on June 15, and in parallel, the propaganda machine of the Baku dictator is trying to connect this event with the election of the newly elected President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian. According to him, Azerbaijani propaganda is trying to link this with the coming to power of the "Azerbaijani" president in Iran.
"In fact, this is a simple deception. Because, firstly, Masoud Pezeshkian is an Iranian from Atrpatan, and not an "Azerbaijani." Secondly, judging by the Iranian media, the decision was made during the reign of the late President Ebrahim Rais, and in "Thirdly, the newly elected president of Iran has not yet taken office - this will happen only after the inauguration," Voskanyan noted.
The Iranianist drew attention to the fact that such a machination of propaganda by the regime in Baku pursues two goals, allegedly to revive for the internal Azerbaijani audience the woven and already extinct myth about the newly elected president of Iran as an "Azerbaijani" and to use the same "lever" for pressure on Armenia, trying to create the impression that Iran will change its foreign policy course.
"It is obvious that nothing has changed in Iran in this regard, because in January 2023 the embassy was closed not by the Iranian, but by the Azerbaijani side, which is now reopening it. And the signals coming to Armenia from the newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian do not indicate any changes in the foreign policy vector towards the Armenian neighbor," Voskanyan summed up.
