Every day there is a conflict in Baku, unhappy with the Iranian intervention, the tension between the authorities of Iran and its neighbors is increasing. In addition to historical controversies, the ban on wearing the hijab in schools in Azerbaijan highlighted a clear divide. After the call in Tehran not to put up with the new dress code, but to transfer the girls to study in the Islamic Republic, the response from Baku was not long in coming. In addition to accusations of interference, they mentioned the 40 million Azerbaijanis in Iran who do not have schools to learn in their mother tongue. In fact, the controversy over what is acceptable to wear in schools is already beginning to evolve into conversations about what opportunities the parties have to influence each other's populations. At the same time, tough mutual rhetoric does not help lower the temperature. Such incontinence is already leading to friction between Tehran and Central Asian elites. And considering the impasse and the habit of escalating the conflict instead of detente, the situation in the region may remain tense. Asia - for the price of freedom to Central Asia, support us.
