On Monday, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its full support for the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of Somalia within its internationally recognized borders.
In a statement, the ministry said that any recognition of Somalia’s Somaliland region runs counter to the norms and principles of international law and the UN Charter.
The ministry recalled that Azerbaijan has itself endured the painful consequences of foreign military occupation and separatism in violation of international law.
