Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif:
We look at Azerbaijan with a threat-oriented mindset. We look at Armenia that way, although a little less. Tajikistan, Turkmenistan - we see them all as threats. We see everything as a threat.
We see the hijab as a protective channel. How does a social issue become a military issue? Because we see it as a threat.
To get out of this problem, we have to change our mindset. We must transform our threat-oriented approach into an opportunity-oriented approach.
