A total of 2,309 individuals have been evacuated from the Islamic Republic of Iran to Azerbaijan between 08:00 on February 28 and 10:00 on March 13.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that among those evacuated, 403 are citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The evacuation process was carried out through the land borders to ensure the safe return of individuals amid regional developments.
The Operative Information Center-OMM, which coordinates inter-agency efforts in Azerbaijan, noted that all necessary health and security protocols were followed during the transition. The group of evacuees includes both local residents and foreign nationals who were granted passage into Azerbaijan under official supervision.
The border between Azerbaijan and Iran serves as a critical transit point for regional commerce and travel. In recent years, the Cabinet of Ministers and relevant state agencies have implemented specific measures to regulate border crossings in response to public health requirements and regional security dynamics. This latest evacuation reflects Azerbaijan's ongoing commitment to managing its borders while facilitating the safe passage of its citizens and residents during periods of heightened necessity.
