"Of course the information contained in the note is untrue," Elman Abdullayev said.
Abdullayev confirmed that Baku sees the protest note as a tit-for-tat response to its own note to the Iranian ambassador over the involvement of Iranian intelligence agencies in a plot to kill foreigners in Azerbajan.
"Inviting the Azerbaijani ambassador to the Iranian Foreign Ministry and presenting a note to him is an absurd response from the Iranian side to Azerbaijan’s note about the prevention of a terrorist attack on its territory, planned by persons dealing with the Iranian intelligence agencies," Abdullayev told
He described the contests of the note as slanderous.
"Azerbaijan is a country that is suffering from Armenian terror. Azerbaijan will not permit any external interference or any terrorist activity," the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry also expressed its objection to the behaviour of Azerbaijani customs officials towards Iranian lorry drivers when they cross the border.
"We see the presentation of the note as a negative moment in our relations with Iran," Abdullayev continued.
"We always support neighbourly relations between Azerbaijan and Iran. Azerbaijan’s neighbourly approach is based on the fact that both states must respect sovereignty and not interfere in each other's internal affairs."
