After Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan has clearly stated that it will not allow its land or airspace to be used for any military action against Iran. The statement comes amid rising tensions in the region and growing concerns about the risk of a wider conflict.
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov made this position clear during a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi. Bayramov said that no country would be allowed to carry out operations against Iran from Azerbaijani territory. He stressed that Azerbaijan respects the sovereignty of its neighbors and does not want to be drawn into regional conflicts.
During the conversation, Bayramov also shared his concern about the recent increase in regional tensions. He said such developments threaten peace and stability and could have serious consequences for all countries in the area. Azerbaijan, he added, believes dialogue and diplomacy are the only ways to resolve disputes.
The Azerbaijani foreign minister underlined that his country follows a balanced foreign policy. Azerbaijan seeks good relations with all neighboring states and aims to avoid actions that could worsen already fragile regional conditions. He said Baku does not support any steps that may lead to escalation or violence.
Iran welcomed Azerbaijan’s assurance, as Tehran has repeatedly warned neighboring countries against allowing their territory to be used for hostile acts. Similar statements by other regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, suggest a shared desire to prevent further instability.
Azerbaijan’s position sends a clear message that it wants to remain neutral and focused on peace, at a time when the Middle East and surrounding regions are facing growing uncertainty.
