The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry claimed on Friday that the recent "anti-Azerbaijani campaign" in Iran resulted in the shooting that targeted its embassy in Tehran earlier in the day.
Baku said that "the Iranian side had to fulfill its obligation to ensure the protection of the embassy" and "strongly" requested that Iran "identify and punish the perpetrators" of the "terrorist attack" that led to the death of the embassy's head of security.
Azerbaijan plans to evacuate embassy employees and their families.
