"Also, the team of my colleagues at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the managing directors of Eurasia Affairs, the Ceremonial Affairs, and everyone at the Foreign Ministry spent their efforts so that the two sides will pass through this phase without providing any pretexts for the enemies of the two countries' amicable relations," he added.
He said that the Iranian intelligence services consulted each other on Friday evening and reflected the latest status and information about the attacker and his incentives to Baku officials.
The foreign minister further reiterated, "According to our colleagues' findings so far in both the security and the judiciary sections, the attacker merely has personal incentives about the status of his wife."

The foreign minister added that also in near past, a similar incidence occurred for a Russian diplomat in a neighboring country.
