TEHRAN, Oct. 23 (MNA) – Army Navy fleet has arrived in northern port of Anzali from where they had departed for Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan earlier last week.

Damavand  and Jowshan destroyers, were on mission to communicate messages of peace and friendship to Caspian Sea neighbor and were led by Capt. Abdolhosein Zafari, as the first such Iranian fleet to harbor in Baku; exchanges of this sort and regular contact between navies seek to provide security of the body of water shared with Republic of Azerbaijan and will definitely continue in the future.

The mission was approved by both navies as mission to promote peace, where trade and economic activities would burgeon with security provided by the patrolling destroyers. The mission had visited military strongholds and facilities in Baku and both sides received mutual report of the capabilities of both sides.
