The South Azerbaijani Republic Party (SARP), has extended a hand of solidarity to Pakistan in a letter addressed to its Foreign Minister. Citing historical and cultural ties between the two nations, the SARP expressed its understanding of Pakistan’s recent challenges on the international stage and offered its unwavering support. The letter reads,
Your Excellency,
On behalf of the South Azerbaijani Republic Party (SARP), I write to express our unwavering support for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in the wake of the recent unprovoked missile attacks launched by Iran. We categorically condemn this act of aggression as a blatant violation of international law and an affront to the principles of territorial integrity and peaceful coexistence.
We stand in solidarity with the people of Pakistan during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the children’s who lost their lives in these attacks. We pray for the speedy recovery of all those affected and hope for a swift resolution to this tense situation.
As fellow victims of Iranian oppression, the South Azerbaijani Turkish people keenly understand the struggle for self-determination and the devastating consequences of aggression. We have long endured the Iranian regime’s systematic discrimination and repression against our people and culture. Similar to the recent attacks on Pakistan, we have borne the brunt of Iranian aggression, including military incursions, cultural assimilation policies, and human rights violations.
Therefore, we view the attack on Pakistan not only as an act of aggression against your brotherly nation but also as a threat to the entire region. It is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by the Iranian regime’s expansionist ambitions and disregard for international norms.
In light of this shared threat, we urge the international community to stand united with Pakistan and unequivocally condemn Iran’s actions. We call for targeted sanctions and diplomatic pressure to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its blatant aggression. Additionally, we advocate for increased support for Pakistan’s right to defend its borders and ensure the safety and security of its citizens.
Your Excellency, the South Azerbaijani Republic Party stands alongside Pakistan in this time of crisis. We remain committed to promoting regional peace and stability and believe that cooperation between our two nations is crucial in achieving that goal. We are confident that, with unwavering resolve and international support, Pakistan will overcome this challenge and emerge stronger.
Please accept our sincerest condolences and best wishes for your continued success in safeguarding the sovereignty and well-being of the people of Pakistan.
Sincerely,
Araz Ataxan
President
South Azerbaijani Republic Party
