Azerbaijan diplomatic and security engagements

Overview

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has engaged in high-level diplomatic activities in Baku focused on religious and regional security issues.

In mid-September, Aliyev hosted a delegation of religious leaders for the 7th Meeting of the Organization of Turkic States Muslim Religious Leaders Council. During this event, he addressed what he termed an ‘undeclared war against the Islamic world’ and criticized the destruction of religious sites in previously occupied Azerbaijani territories, alleging that 65 mosques were destroyed as part of Armenian state policy.

By late September, the focus shifted to the IV Baku Security Forum. Addressing participants, Aliyev discussed the ‘new challenges in the global security architecture’ and the necessity of cooperation against terrorism. He noted that intensifying geopolitical competition and regional conflicts are impacting the global security environment, emphasizing that a ‘crisis of trust’ makes strengthening national security architectures an urgent priority.
