BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Azerbaijani citizens
in the Middle East should follow official warnings, Foreign
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov told reporters on the sidelines of a
briefing in Baku with Deputy Prime Minister of Jordan, Minister of
Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Ayman Al Safadi, Trend's correspondent
reports from the event.


According to him, the security situation in the Middle East
remains complex, and Azerbaijani citizens traveling to areas where
military operations are ongoing should exercise extreme
caution.


The minister noted that the situation in regions where military
operations and armed clashes are taking place can change very
quickly. According to him, in such conditions, both diplomatic
mechanisms and relevant state bodies carry out their activities in
a coordinated manner.


Bayramov pointed out that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
regularly informs citizens about existing risks and urges them to
carefully follow official warnings.


"Before traveling to any country, people should take into
account the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
other relevant state bodies and assess the situation correctly. In
the event of any emergency, it is important to follow the
instructions and recommendations of the official bodies of that
state first of all. Because it is that state that primarily
implements security measures in the territory of that country," he
emphasized.


The Minister recalled that during the events taking place in the
Middle East in recent months, Azerbaijan also faced such
situations.


"As soon as possible, the Azerbaijani state, the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, and other relevant structures, in accordance with
the instructions of the country's leadership, provide necessary
support to our citizens and take all necessary measures for their
safe return to the country," he said.


Bayramov added that cooperation with relevant state agencies and
partner countries will continue to ensure the safety, provide
assistance, and organize the evacuation of Azerbaijani citizens who
are in difficult situations in various conflict zones.


In conclusion, the minister called on Azerbaijani citizens not
to travel to countries where military conflicts are ongoing.


"It is unacceptable for Azerbaijani citizens to travel to these
countries to participate in military conflicts. This poses a
serious threat, first of all, to their own lives and health and can
lead to grave consequences," Bayramov noted.
