Share:Iran's foreign minister Saturday said Tehran and Baku have overcome "misunderstandings" that had developed between the two countries in recent months. The statement said Bayramov also reaffirmed his country's commitment to improving ties with Tehran while emphasizing that any misunderstanding should be resolved in an "environment of friendship". Relations between the two neighboring countries soured in recent months, with Tehran alleging the presence of Israeli troops on its border with Azerbaijan, and Baku accusing Iran of illegally sending trucks to the Nagorno-Karabakh region. In their talk on Saturday, the top diplomats of Iran and Azerbaijan also discussed bilateral trade relations and the functioning of the joint economic commission of the two countries. Iran shares a 132-kilometer (82 miles) border with Azerbaijan, which has been a source of tension between them in recent months.
