TEHRAN – Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on Saturday called on the Azeri government to lift visa requirements for Iranian citizens visiting Azerbaijan in a bid to boost ties between the two neighbors.

Speaking at a meeting with Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, Larijani also hailed Tehran-Baku ties as cordial and said there is a positive view about Azerbaijan in the Iranian parliament, Tasnim reported.

“Now that we have lifted the visa (requirements) for the citizens of Azerbaijan, we want you to remove visa (requirements) for Iranians, like Turkey, to facilitate the travels,” he stated.
