“In Azerbaijan, young people gave their lives and liberated their lands,” he said adding that “the Friday Imams of the Azeri cities in Iran had previously declared their support for Azerbaijan.”

“Today you see Iran as your own country,” he said addressing the Azerbaijani people. “Today you can celebrate victory here, in Iran.”

He went on to say that Iran`s Supreme Leader officially supported Azerbaijan and said that Nagorno-Karabakh is Azerbaijan and must be returned to this country and Armenia must withdraw from the occupied land.

“This is not only the victory of Azerbaijan but also the victory of Islam,” said Sedighi.
