A few hours after the announcement of the fact that the appropriate review committee of the former President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev’s monument was established in Mexico City in Mexico, the Azerbaijani government warned that in case of the decision to break the monument Azerbaijan will break off diplomatic relations with Mexico.
Azerbaijani Ambassador to Mexico Ilgar Mukhtarov told La Razón newspaper that such a step will “harm” Mexico, the Embassy of Azerbaijan will be closed, Baku will break off diplomatic relations and will cancel 4 billion dollar investment.
Ambassador said that some members of the newly established committee were initially against the erection of the monument to Heydar Aliyev.
Note that Heydar Aliyev’s monument was inaugurated on August 22 in Azerbaijani-Mexican Friendship Park in Mexico.
