Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has condemned the Iranian drone strike on Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic on March 5.

In a phone call with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev on Thursday, the Turkish president expressed support for the brotherly Azerbaijani people, News.Az reports, citing AZERTAC.

President Aliyev expressed gratitude to his Turkish counterpart for the phone call and for his stance.

On March 5, Iranian drones struck the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan, hitting the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport and falling near a school in the village of Shakarabad. The attack damaged civilian infrastructure and injured two civilians, prompting Baku to strongly condemn the strike and summon Iran’s ambassador for explanations.

Azerbaijan described the incident as a violation of international law and warned that it reserves the right to take appropriate response measures if such attacks are repeated.
