Azerbaijan continues to serve as a vital transit corridor for international evacuations due to its strategic geographical location and stable infrastructure. As regional tensions escalate following the military actions initiated under US President Donald Trump, Baku has maintained its role in providing safe passage for foreign nationals seeking to exit the conflict zone. The Republic of Azerbaijan has previously demonstrated its capacity for large-scale humanitarian logistics, coordinating closely with international partners and foreign embassies to ensure the secure movement of civilians across its borders.
