AZERBAIJANI FOREIGN MINISTER URGES IRAN TO END BROADCASTS INTO SOUTHERN AZERBAIJAN
By empty (10/25/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Vilayet Guliev met with Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ahmad Qazai on 25 October and informed him of Baku\'s demand that Iran cease its \"broadcasting and unauthorized transmission of Iranian Sahar-2 television\" into Azerbaijan. Guliev criticized the Azeri-language broadcasts beamed into southern Azerbaijan for containing \"anti-Azerbaijani propaganda\" aimed at destabilizing the southern regions of the country, and faulted the Iranian government for \"interference in Azerbaijan\'s internal affairs.\" Iranian officials have claimed that the broadcasts are beyond their control, as Sahar-2 is a privately owned station and merely expresses \"its own position\" in its programs.Visit also
