Its national pride, resilience and commitment to development, combined with a readiness for moderation and openness to cooperation with all, have earned the respect of many around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Azerbaijani people, like the people of other countries that have been unjustly targeted in recent days, deserve only respect, security and freedom from fear.<\/p>\n<p>Any attempt by the evil regime in Tehran to terrorize civilian populations or destabilize peaceful neighbouring countries in order to provoke them against the fully justified response of the United States and Israel toward the Khomeinist Republic should not only be condemned with the greatest clarity, but should also serve as another reason to completely isolate that regime in every possible way from every possible part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>When civilian infrastructure in other countries is targeted and sovereign borders are violated, the line between aggression and terrorism disappears. For this reason, the time has come for all states and institutions that believe in stability, in a rules-based international order and in peaceful coexistence not merely to distance themselves from a regime that repeatedly exports violence and fear beyond its borders, but to agree on what it truly is: a terrorist state.<\/p>\n<p>We stand firmly with Azerbaijan, with its strong leadership and with its proud people.<\/p>\n<p>The path forward must be clear. Aggression must be isolated and aggressors must be condemned without hesitation. Those who choose the path of violence must face the growing unity of those who choose peace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted after a drone attack on Azerbaijan, in which four civilians were injured.
