Commenting on the possible impact of anti-Iran sanctions on Azerbaijan's economy, Leyla Abdullayeva told Trend News Agency it is too early to make remarks about the issue.
She said Azerbaijani experts are studying Washington's' sanctions against Tehran and their implications for Azerbaijan's economy.
'At the same time, the multilateral relations that exist between Azerbaijan and the US are important for us,' Abdullayeva said.
US President Donald Trump announced in early May Washington would pull out of Iran nuclear deal and reinstate sanctions lifted under the deal. The first round of sanctions reinstated in August and the second round which targeted Iran's oil, banking and shipping sectors took effect on November 5th.
Trump has repeatedly said Washington would punish any country doing business with Iran.
However almost all nations, including the other signatories to the Iran nuclear deal (i.e. Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia) have thus far hit out at Washington's move and have repeatedly stressed their commitment to the deal and continuing trade with Iran.
