The recent earthquakes in Iran are creating a fresh diplomatic challenge for Azerbaijani-Iranian relations, eurasianet.org.
"Some in Baku are complaining about the Iranian governmental response to the disaster, which occurred in northwestern Iran, an area with a large concentration of ethnic Azeris," the article says.
Two quakes on August 11 left more than 300 dead. The epicenter was about 37 miles southwest of Tabriz, Iran's fifth largest city and the capital of the country's East Azerbaijan Province. Iranian authorities initially seemed ambivalent about accepting foreign assistance, but announced a more open stance on August 14.
