This written declaration does not reflect the position of the Assembly; only of those members that have signed it. It will not be considered further by the Assembly.

We, the undersigned, declare the following:

On 27 January 2023, there was an armed attack on the building of the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran. A terrorist act against a diplomatic mission is a terrible crime that is against the norms and principles of international law and it is unacceptable.

We resolutely condemn this treacherous terrorist act committed against the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tehran, and demand the immediate investigation of the terrorist act, the identification and persecution of the perpetrators and those who ordered this bloody act.
