Amid escalating regional tensions, Azerbaijan has declared its support for Iran, referring to it as 'brotherly Iran.' The statement was made by Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Aykhan Hajizada, during a press briefing held today.
Hajizada stressed that Baku has always valued its relations with Tehran and aims to promote bilateral cooperation across various fields for the mutual benefit of both nations and regional stability.
The Azerbaijani official's remarks come against the backdrop of complex developments in the South Caucasus and the Middle East. Baku expressed support for efforts to de-escalate tensions and foster dialogue among regional countries.
This move is seen as part of Azerbaijan's efforts to maintain balanced relations with its neighbors, particularly Iran, amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
