Azerbaijan claims to Iranian territories
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the leader of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign relations committee, voiced discontent about a new geographical atlas issued by the institute of national history of Azerbaijan.

"Representation of territory of Iran and some neighbor states as the territory of Azerbaijan is the evidence of the U.S. and Israeli policy in the region," he said.

"Iran respects territorial integrity of neighbor states. However, in case of territorial claims, the territories seized from Iran should be returned first," he said, ISNA reports.
