Qatar condemned Iran's drone strikes on Azerbaijan

Qatar strongly condemns Iranian drone strikes on Nakhchivan airport in Azerbaijan.

This is reported by BAKU.WS with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar.

The statement notes that "the State of Qatar strongly condemns the attempted ballistic missile strikes against the brotherly Republic of Turkey and the strikes on an airport in the Republic of Azerbaijan using Iranian drones."

"These hostile actions constitute a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of states as part of a series of irresponsible Iranian attacks, as well as a direct threat to the security and stability of the region," the document states.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar also stated that "the continued opening of new fronts by the Islamic Republic of Iran and the expansion of the circle of escalation in relations with neighboring countries is extremely dangerous, and calls for the immediate cessation of this irresponsible policy that undermines the security and stability of the region, and to prioritize the interests of the peoples of the region, adhering to the principles of good neighborliness and international law."

"The Ministry emphasizes the full solidarity of the State of Qatar with the brotherly Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan, as well as support for all measures taken by them to preserve their sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity," the statement says.

As a reminder, on March 5, unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iranian territory attacked targets on the territory of Nakhchivan. One of the drones hit the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, and the second landed near a school building in the village of Shekerebad. As a result of the airport attack, two civilians were injured. The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Azerbaijan, Mojtaba Damirchilu, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
