Azerbaijan says Iran apologized for airspace violation The Associated Press Published: March 6, 2007 Iran has apologized for an incident last month in which its helicopters violated Azerbaijan's airspace, Deputy Foreign Minister Khalaf Khalafov said Tuesday after a visit to Tehran. Azerbaijani officials said Iranian helicopters violated Azerbaijan's airspace several times while escorting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in northern Iran. "The Iranian side expressed regret and made apologies," Khalafov told reporters. He said Azerbaijan accepted Iran's statement that the violation was unintended. Relations between the countries are strained by concerns in Azerbaijan over the treatment of ethnic Azeris in Iran, where they are the largest minority, and over the influence of Iran in Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic that is predominantly Muslim but is a secular state. +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
