Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian praised the support and solidarity extended by Azerbaijan.

"In a conversation with my brother Ilham Aliyev, I appreciated the sympathy and support of the government and the people of Azerbaijan.

The need to restore peace in the region was emphasized during the phone call.
