Baku, March 6 (Xinhua) — Azerbaijan has ordered the evacuation of its embassy in Tehran and consulate general in Tabriz. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov announced this at a briefing in Baku on Friday.
The Foreign Minister emphasized that the evacuation of diplomatic missions is being carried out as part of additional security measures, as the safety of Azerbaijani citizens is a top priority. He stated that the country's Armed Forces have been put on high alert amid regional tensions.
The official statement followed an incident on March 5, when unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran attacked targets in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Four civilians were injured in the attack.
J. Bayramov reported that he had already discussed this issue with his Iranian counterpart during a telephone conversation. "The Iranian side promised to thoroughly investigate the incident, and we are awaiting the results," the minister noted.
