Switzerland Expresses Solidarity with Azerbaijan After Iran’s Strikes on Nakhchivan

The Swiss Embassy in Baku has condemned Iran’s drone strikes on the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.

This was stated in a post by the embassy on the social network Facebook.

"We condemn yesterday’s drone attacks in Nakhchivan, which threatened the security and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. We express full solidarity with Azerbaijan and with those affected by these attacks," the statement reads.

As a reminder, on March 5, unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iranian territory attacked targets in Nakhchivan. One of the drones crashed into the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, while the second fell near a school building in the village of Shekerabad. As a result of the airport attack, four civilians were injured. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev called the actions of the Iranian side a despicable terrorist act. The President stated that Iranian officials must provide explanations, offer apologies to the Azerbaijani side, and those responsible for this terrorist act must be held criminally accountable.
