The US Embassy in Azerbaijan has commemorated the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks and expressed gratitude to Azerbaijan in a post on X for its contribution to the joint fight against international terrorism.

The embassy recalled the solidarity shown by countries around the world following the attacks, Caliber.Az reports.

“We also remembered how countries around the world, including Azerbaijan, stood with the United States after the attack.  U.S. and Azerbaijani service members served side by side as part of coalition forces in Afghanistan.  We are grateful for Azerbaijan’s contributions to our shared fight against global terrorism,” the embassy stated.

The diplomatic mission said: “Together, we reflected on the lives of the victims and their families, the first responders who ran boldly toward unimaginable danger, and all the lives forever changed after that tragic day.”

“25 years ago, the United States was attacked by terrorists who sought to threaten the American way of life.  Out of the darkness, we saw the timeless truth of American character shine for the world to see.  The terrorists did not succeed – they could not weaken the spirit of our people,” the statement added.

Today, the U.S. Embassy Baku community gathered to honor the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath.
