Hossein Jaberi Ansari told reporters on Saturday that the swap had been inspired by the Iranian New Year festivity which is also celebrated in Republic of Azerbaijan in March 20-21. “It is also part of a bilateral judiciary cooperation; however, the good offices of Iran’s embassy in Baku and Foreign Ministry have made it possible to swap these five prisoners with 4 Azeri prisoners,” he added.
“They will serve the remaining years behind the bars in domestic prisons,” Jaberi Ansari asserted.
