borderfor this azerbaijan iran border for this opening azerbaijan iran borderfor this opening of theike it is a military helicopter —— as. is it always a military helicopter or could it be a non—military one? i think it depends on the region. if normally they use different kinds of helicopters in different regions, if helicopters in different regions, if he is going to visits a military camp or installation, normally he is getting on helicopter but there is no such rule that he must be uncertain like the president of the united states, they have their own air force one, their own chopper and it isn't like that. i think we have seen this kind of incident actually with other ministers and even previous presidents, incidents like this. so, no, in an doesn't really have this regulation or protocol that the president must travel with this kind of aircraft —— iran. i would if we can take you back to state media again, ijust want to show these pictures again. state media showing lots of people praying because they ask people to pray for the president, didn't they? normally in the islamic —

not only fog, weather conditions for many factors in the iran border area. azerbaijanvery complex. let me remind you that ibrahim reisi’s helicopter was flying from the iran-azerbaijan border to the city of tabriz. earlier, the presidents of iran and azerbaijan took part in the ceremony of launching two hydroelectric complexes on the araks river. the path to tabriz led through the tolyzh mountains, a system of three mountain ranges with a maximum height of about 3 km. the flight was operated by an american -made bel-212 helicopter. the average altitude at which such helicopters fly is from 3 to 4 km maximum. altitude 4 km 300 m, cruising speed about 218 km/h. in the first frames from the turkish drone akinci from the search area for the iranian president's helicopter, the dense clouds made it impossible to see anything with the naked eye in such conditions. night vision equipment helped locate the crash site. the main obstacle during the search in the first hours after the emergency was low cloud cover and dense fog. visibility at times did not exceed several tens of m

the great arest river forms more than 500 km of the common border of iran, azerbaijan and armenia . the vital artery of the border residents of this region was built 53 years ago. the chain of centuries that is on the aruz river. there is the oldest dam, which is considered a symbol of cooperation between iran and other countries, at 196 km downstream of ars, khodafarin joint dam was built and drained in 2007. it was from that time that in order to allocate the rights of the two countries and provide electricity, studies were conducted to place another hundred 12 kilometers away from the self-generating dam. a significant amount of our renewable sources is in the northwest of the country. well, sedekiz ghalisi on the ares river is a part of the imports from other countries that enter the ares river, as well as the water that enters the ars river from the islamic republic of iran itself. we are setting up 270 km north of tabriz city of qiz qalasi dam, the biggest border water project in the northwest of the country in terms of issues. economically, this dam is very important for us,

azerbaijan's president. it was an | incredibly significant trip because iran and azerbaijan have had significant tensions ind to be a major breakthrough in diplomatic relations, demonstration of fraternal ties between the two states. and so the fact that the president has now suffered this major accident and probably he might have perished, is a major setback for the iranian state. have perished, is a ma'or setback for the iranian state._ have perished, is a ma'or setback for the iranian state. now, we saw sureme for the iranian state. now, we saw supreme leader _ for the iranian state. now, we saw supreme leader khamenei - for the iranian state. now, we saw supreme leader khamenei calling l supreme leader khamenei calling for calm, what does this particularly mean, as far as the particles for running the country now? iran has a number of — running the country now? iran has a number of constitutional _ running the country now? iran has a number of constitutional means - running the country now? iran has a number of constitutional means in l number of constitutional means in place for continuity in case the

region on fire, but this, this story with the helicopter and the death of the president of iran can also affect azerbaijann, there is a big problem with iran, why? because today iran has only one left a land corridor from russia there, which is not controlled by his enemies, is a corridor through. then directly, if something happens there today, this is what the armenians are talking bad about, then iran will simply be cut off from all allies by land, then this is a prerequisite for some kind of war already in the territory of the middle east, that is the question of nuclear weapons in iran, yes they exist there, they are not being developed, they are not being developed, how this will all develop further will depend , among other things, on how russia behaves, he controls it himself. azerbaijan’s ally is a nato country, and if turkey gets into karabakh, then it turns out that iran gets at its side, well, a large nato presence, to put it mildly, they are not happy about all this. pashinyan was offered different options, for example, conduct some kind of joint exercises with iran, if you don’t want with th
