Azerbaijan has always supported Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and has done so openly.
Modern.az reports that this was stated by Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov in response to journalists' inquiries regarding the outcomes of 2025.
“Because Azerbaijan has always maintained its principled position, the parties have met this with understanding. Until the war period.”
The minister noted that the reason for the tension in Azerbaijan-Russia relations was not Azerbaijan's recognition of Ukraine's sovereignty, but rather issues and the tragedy surrounding the AZAL aircraft,” the minister emphasized.
