Prime Minister Edi Rama reacted a few minutes ago to Iran's attack on the state of Azerbaijan.

Through a post on the 'X' platform, Rama describes it as a serious act of aggression by Iran against a neighboring country, which should be an isolated case.

Edi Rama's full post on X:

The attack launched against the territory of Azerbaijan, targeting civilian infrastructure in the Nakhchivan region and injuring civilians, is another grave and unacceptable act of aggression by the Khomeiniist Republic of Iran against neighboring countries, whose only "sin" they have in common is to shine on the world stage through development, prosperity, and openness, making the lives of their people better every day and making Iran look even darker and blinder under its satanic regime.

Azerbaijan is a valued friend and ally of Albania, a nation that has risen to prominence since regaining independence from the Soviet Union. Its national pride, resilience, and commitment to development, combined with its willingness for moderation and open arms for cooperation with all, have earned it the respect of many people around the world.

The Azerbaijani people, like the people of other countries senselessly targeted in recent days, deserve nothing but respect, security, and freedom from intimidation. Any attempt by the evil regime in Tehran to terrorize civilian populations or destabilize peaceful neighboring countries in order to provoke them against the United States and Israel's fully justified response to the Khomeiniist Republic should not only be condemned in the strongest terms, but should also serve as another reason to completely isolate that regime in every possible way from every possible part of the world.

When the civilian infrastructure of other countries is targeted and sovereign borders violated, the dividing line between aggression and terrorism disappears. That is why it is time for all states and institutions that believe in stability, a rules-based international order, and peaceful coexistence not only to distance themselves from a regime that consistently exports violence and intimidation beyond its borders, but to come to terms with what it truly is, a Terrorist State.

We stand firmly with Azerbaijan, with its strong leadership and its proud people. The path forward must be clear.

Aggression must be isolated and aggressors must be unequivocally punished. Those who choose the path of violence must be confronted with the growing unity of those who choose peace. /CNA
