It says that an action whose participants spoke against the Eurovision 2012 music contest and allegedly the gay parade was held in Tebriz on 8 May though the Azerbaijani side repeatedly said that no such parade will be held in Baku.

The statement also notes that Iran's cooperation against Armenia is expanding and Iran's support to Armenia is one of the reasons of the failure of the Armenian armed forces to withdraw from Azerbaijan.
