“We view the Republic of Azerbaijan as a threat.”
Globalinfo.az reports that this was said by Iran’s former foreign minister Javad Zarif
“We treat Armenia the same way, though to a somewhat lesser degree. Tajikistan, Turkmenistan — we see them all as a threat. We consider everything a threat.
We view the hijab as a defensive line. How does a social issue turn into a military one? Because we see it as a threat.
To escape this problem, we must change our way of thinking. We must turn our threat-oriented approach into an opportunity-oriented approach,” Zarif said, hinting at the need for Iran to carry out reforms in relations with its neighbours.
