“There have been not only attacks on Azerbaijan's energy infrastructure in Ukraine, but also three attacks on Azerbaijan's Embassy in Ukraine,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during the panel discussion titled “Open corridor policy? Deepening Trans-Caspian cooperation” held as part of the Munich Security Conference, APA reports.
The head of state stated that this issue was raised many times during numerous contacts between our officials at the level of foreign ministries and at the level of presidential administrations.
“There have been not only attacks on Azerbaijan's energy infrastructure in Ukraine, but also three attacks on Azerbaijan's Embassy in Ukraine. After the first attack, we could imagine that it was accidental, and we gave our Russian colleagues all the coordinates of Azerbaijan's diplomatic representations, including the consular department, our cultural centers, and the embassy. Despite all that, there have been two more attacks. So that was a deliberate attack on Azerbaijan's diplomatic representation. We issued special statements, and the ambassador was invited and a diplomatic note was submitted. We act only in a diplomatic way. We cannot do anything else. But of course, it's something which is considered to be unfriendly to Azerbaijan. And I understand your question and just want to inform you that all the necessary diplomatic steps have been taken by the Azerbaijani government,” the President emphasized.
