The attack on civilian infrastructure in Nakhchivan is an unacceptable act of aggression by Iran.

Axar.az reports this was stated by Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, on his X.

"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 the Khomeinist Republic of Iran against neighboring countries whose only “sin” they have in common, is to shine on the world stage through development, prosperity, and openness, making the lives of their people better every day and making Iran appear even darker and blinder under its satanic regime.

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. Every attempt by the evil regime in Tehran to terrorize civilian populations or destabilize peaceful neighboring countries in order to provoke them against the United States and Israel’s fully justified response to the Khomeinist Republic must not only be condemned with the utmost clarity, but must also serve as yet another reason to fully isolate that regime in every possible way from every possible part of the world.

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," he added.
