Iran Recalls Its Ambassador to Azerbaijan - Media

RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED May 22, 2012

Iran has recalled its ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohammad Bagher Bahrami, Azerbaijan’s SalamNews agency said on Tuesday citing diplomatic sources.

The move has allegedly been made in response to insults against Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a protest in front of the Iranian embassy in Baku.

Bahrami is expected to leave the country “for consultations” on Tuesday and the date of his return is unknown.

Ties between Tehran and Baku have deteriorated recently.

In February and March, Azerbaijan’s Ministry of National Security carried out several clandestine operations to reveal Iranian spies and intelligence agents in Baku preparing sabotage and terrorist actions.

Iran has accused Azerbaijan, which borders Iran and has friendly relations with the United States and Israel, of colluding with the Israeli intelligence in the killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist in January.

Tehran has also blasted Baku over media reports speculating that Azerbaijan may have been in talks on leasing its airfields to Israel for a possible airstrike against Iranian nuclear facilities.

The last time Iranian authorities recalled their ambassador from Baku was during the visit of Israeli President Shimon Peres to Azerbaijan in 2009.

Not quite so. The authors of the concept, which was difficult to be realized in practice, turned to a clearer concept of a standing wave reactor (TP-1) that in principle allows finding the solution to the tasks stated for TWRs.

Now the question is whether the key participant in the talks, the United States, wants talks to go forward and why.
