Ali Fadavi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, spoke to reporters with sarcasm about Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s allegations about the IRGC military exercises on the border with Azerbaijan, reports Rokna and News.am.
“When a small child insults and curses you, you put your hand on that child’s head and do not pay attention,” said Fadavi.
In an interview with Anadolu, Aliyev had expressed resentment over the aforesaid Iranian military exercises on the border with Azerbaijan, wondering why they were not held earlier when the territories on the other side of the border were controlled by the Armenian side.
