Azerbaijan voices concern over rising tensions between India, Pakistan

01 May 2025 18:37

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has expressed concern over the escalating situation between India and Pakistan.  

“We are concerned about recent tensions between India and Pakistan following attack in Pahalgam.  We call on to exercise restraint and engage in constructive dialogue to deescalate current tensions. It is important to refrain from unilateral actions in such a volatile situation. Moreover we hope an open and transparent international investigation will be carried out to resolve the current situation,” Caliber.Az reports, citing the ministry’s message.   

“We believe a meaningful dialogue and negotiations, consistent with norms and principles of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, is a path to address the conflict. Recognizing the shared and mutual interest in regional stability, we hope the sides will pursue diplomatic channels to foster peace and cooperation, safeguarding the well-being of their peoples and the broader region,” the ministry said.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply following a deadly terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.​ Thus, on April 22, gunmen attacked tourists in the Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, resulting in 26 deaths, including 25 Hindu tourists and one Christian tourist. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility. India accuses Pakistan of supporting the attackers, a claim Pakistan denies.

In response to the attack, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, a crucial water-sharing agreement, and expelled Pakistani diplomats. Pakistan retaliated by closing its airspace to Indian aircraft, suspending trade, and expelling Indian diplomats. Both countries have suspended key bilateral agreements, including the Shimla Agreement.
