In fact, it was a diplomatic information and propaganda body that implemented the country's foreign policy tasks within the republic and was engaged in the formation of its image abroad. Among the tasks that the Republican Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to carry out at that time, we should first of all name the intermediary functions: during the Iran-Iraq war in 1979-1988. the ministry led by Tahira Tairova was actively involved in the conflict resolution process. I personally have repeatedly had to, on the instructions of the Minister, accompany high-ranking guests from Baku to the Iranian border who took part in the Iran-Iraq talks, including Yasser Arafat , Cuban Foreign Minister Isidoro Malmierka and many others. ” [one] |
