Albanian Prime Minister: We stand firmly with Azerbaijan, with its strong leadership and proud people

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama strongly condemned the attack launched against the territory of Azerbaijan, targeting civilian infrastructure in the Nakhchivan region, APA reports.

In a post on his X account, the Albanian Premier said: “The attack launched against the territory of Azerbaijan, targeting civilian infrastructure in the Nakhchivan region and injuring civilians, is yet another grave and unacceptable act of aggression by Iran against neighboring countries.”

“Azerbaijan is a valued friend and ally of Albania, a nation that has risen high since regaining its independence from the Soviet Union. Its national pride, resilience, and commitment to development, combined with its readiness for moderation and its open arms for cooperation with all, have earned it the respect of many around the world.

The Azerbaijani people, like the people of other countries senselessly targeted in recent days, deserve only respect, security and freedom from intimidation.

When the civilian infrastructure of other countries is targeted and sovereign borders are violated, the line between aggression and terrorism disappears. This is why the time has come for all states and institutions that believe in stability, the rule based international order, and peaceful coexistence not merely to distance themselves from a regime that repeatedly exports violence and intimidation beyond its borders, but to agree on what it truly is, a terrorist state.

We stand firmly with Azerbaijan, with its strong leadership and its proud people.

The path forward must be clear. Aggression must be isolated and aggressors must be unequivocally condemned. Those who choose the path of violence must face the growing unity of those who choose peace.”
