Baku ready for co-op on Tabriz 2018: Azeri official
Tabriz, Jan 19, IRNA – Azerbaijan's Consul General to Tabriz says his country is fully ready to cooperate with Iran on holding the Tabriz 2018 event.
Aliyannaghi M. Huseynov said in a
meeting with East Azarbaijan's deputy governor on Thursday that Azerbaijan is
ready for all kinds of cooperation, including scientific, technical, economic,
cultural or touristic cooperation with Iran, particularly with East Azarbaijan
Province of the country.
He also suggested that Iran's Tabriz and Azerbaijan's city Nakhchivan as two
cities that have been distinguished for 2018 can provide the two countries with
the required ground for boosting cultural coordination.
Tabriz and Nakhchivan have been chosen respectively as the tourism and cultural
capitals of the Muslim World for 2018 by the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC).
The Iranian provincial official Rahim Shohratifar, at the meeting, said Tabriz
2018 is an opportunity for boosting relations between Iran and Azerbaijan in
various spheres.
Given the designation of Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, as the tourism capital of
the Muslim countries in 2019, experiences of this year's event will be
beneficial to Azerbaijan. Therefore, more cooperation is necessary for
transferring the experience.
Resuming Tehran-Baku flights, easing travel for Azeris to have medical tours in
Tabriz were also other topics discussed at the meeting.
Iran's East Azarbaijan Province with the city of Tabriz as its capital shares
border with the Republic of Azerbaijan in Jolfa and Khoda Afarin cities.
