Italian officials condemn Iranian drone strikes on Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan
Italian officials have condemned the Iranian drone strikes on Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic on March 5, which injured four people and damaged civilian infrastructure.
Italy’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Edmondo Cirielli, expressed strong condemnation of the attack and voiced solidarity with Azerbaijan, Caliber.Az reports via local media.
"In connection with this extremely serious incident, I express full solidarity with the government and people of Azerbaijan. Strikes on civilian infrastructure are unacceptable, irresponsible, and criminal acts. This is a continuation of a series of terrorist attacks carried out by Iran in recent days in the Middle East. Deliberate missile and drone strikes on infrastructure and civilian populations are carried out with complete disregard for all norms of international law," he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Naike Gruppioni, a member of the Brothers of Italy party and of the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, also condemned the attacks and called for a strong international response.
"Italy is working resolutely with international partners to help prevent further escalation and support all steps that strengthen stability, security, and dialogue in the South Caucasus. The government led by Giorgia Meloni is actively involved in this process, recognizing the strategic importance of stability in the region. At such delicate moments, everyone must act responsibly: international crises cannot become a pretext for disputes or political games. The safety of citizens and international stability require seriousness, unity, and respect for institutions," she said.
