Hikmat Hajiyev: security situation in İran is not subject to the immediate interference of the Azerbaijani side

Unpredictability over whether the US will strike Iran is raising concerns for neighbouring Azerbaijan, but it has not discussed the issue with Washington, said Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, in an interview with The National.

“The situation is not predictable and you will have difficulty to properly assess all of the threats and challenges that can emanate from that,” Hikmat Hajiyev, head of foreign policy affairs for Azerbaijan’s presidency, said in an interview in Baku.

Mr Hajiyev said Azerbaijan had not raised its concerns with Washington.

“We are not discussing this issue with the United States and they have also never reached out to us for discussing such a subject matter,” he said.

Mr Hajiyev said Azerbaijani officials had spoken in recent days with their counterparts in Iran, but said the security situation in that country “is not subject to the immediate interference of the Azerbaijan side, as we always refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries”.

Azerbaijan, an energy-rich country in the South Caucasus between Iran and Russia, feels like it is sandwiched between “two world wars”, said Mr Hajiyev.

“There is a Russia-Ukrainian war happening just over here, and also Iran and the Middle East, Israel and Iran confrontation and the United States’ involvement in that confrontation,” he said.
