Azerbaijan has expressed hope for a quick return of peace and stability in Iran after an exchange of public messages between the two countries’ foreign ministers.
Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov responded on X to remarks by his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, who had thanked Azerbaijan for humanitarian assistance.
“Your sincere words and gratitude are valuable to us. The peoples of Azerbaijan and Iran are friendly and brotherly peoples. This also forms the foundation of our relations of mutual respect and historical ties between the two countries. We wish Iran peace and tranquility as soon as possible,” Bayramov wrote.
Araghchi had earlier thanked Azerbaijan for humanitarian aid sent to Iran.
Azerbaijan dispatched a second shipment of humanitarian assistance to Iran on March 18 following a March 8 phone call between President Ilham Aliyev and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to the Azerbaijani side. The aid was intended to help meet the current needs of the population in the neighboring country.
The first humanitarian shipment was sent on March 10. It included nearly 30 tons of food supplies, among them 10 tons of flour, 6 tons of rice, 2.4 tons of sugar, more than 4 tons of drinking water and around 600 kilograms of tea. The shipment also included nearly 2 tons of medicines and medical supplies.
The exchange underscores Baku’s effort to frame its support for Iran in humanitarian terms while also stressing the language of neighborly ties, mutual respect and historical connection.
