Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry: No evacuation requests from citizens in Lebanon

The Azerbaijani Embassy in Lebanon has reported that it has not received any requests for evacuation from Azerbaijani citizens currently residing in the country.

This statement comes from the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry in response to inquiries from media, Caliber.Az reports.

The ministry clarified that there are very few Azerbaijani nationals registered with the embassy in Lebanon, and none have reached out regarding evacuation. Additionally, it was emphasized that Azerbaijani citizens were previously warned about traveling to Lebanon as of August 3.

This update follows recent tragic events in Lebanon, where on September 17, explosions at communication facilities resulted in at least 12 fatalities and around 4,000 injuries.

In light of these incidents, authorities in Lebanon have implemented restrictions on carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on aircraft. The situation remains tense, and the embassy continues to monitor developments closely.
