The Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Rashid Meredov, held a telephone conversation with the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan released official information regarding the call.
During the conversation, the primary focus was the recent drone attacks launched by Iran against Nakhchivan and the resulting regional implications. Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov provided his counterpart with detailed information concerning the strikes, emphasizing that such an assault on the territory of Azerbaijan constitutes a gross violation of the norms and principles of international law.
It was underscored that this provocative step serves only to escalate tensions within the region. Minister Jeyhun Bayramov noted that Azerbaijan has demanded an immediate and formal explanation from the Iranian side regarding the incident. The Turkmen minister expressed concern over the current situation, and the two officials also exchanged views on other matters of mutual interest.
The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, an exclave of Azerbaijan, holds significant strategic importance in the South Caucasus. This recent escalation follows a period of complex diplomatic relations in the region, where Azerbaijan has consistently advocated for stability and the respect of sovereign borders. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure the security and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
