Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of new provocations in the region. Zarif wrote on his Twitter microblog:
"Pres. Erdogan was not informed that what he ill-recited in Baku refers to the forcible separation of areas north of Aras from Iranian motherland
Didn't he realize that he was undermining the sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan? (Iranian Azerbaijan ed.).
NO ONE can talk about OUR beloved Azerbaijan".
