Iran's Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian expressed discontent during the acceptance of the credentials of Azerbaijan's newly appointed ambassador, Ali Alizadeh, regarding the improper treatment of Iranian drivers by Azerbaijani border guards and the detention of two drivers. As reported by Armenpress, citing the official website of Iran's Foreign Ministry, Abdollahian also described negative statements coming from the Azerbaijani side as surprising and regretful.
