The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Azerbaijan fully supports the unity and internationally recognised borders of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
The statement emphasised that any recognition of the self-declared “Somaliland” region is inconsistent with international law.
Azerbaijan drew attention to its own history of foreign military occupation and separatism, noting that such experiences have shaped its firm position on sovereignty issues. The ministry said Baku remains committed to the protection of territorial integrity and political independence of all states.
The issue of Somaliland’s status has been a source of tension for decades. The region has maintained de-facto self-rule since 1991 after the collapse of Somalia’s central government, establishing its own institutions, currency and security forces. However, despite its autonomy, no country has formally recognised it as an independent state, and Somalia continues to consider it an integral part of its territory.
Mogadishu has consistently rejected external engagement or recognition of Somaliland outside the framework of Somalia’s federal control, urging partners to respect its sovereignty. International organisations such as the African Union and European Union have previously expressed support for Somalia’s unity, calling for dialogue rather than unilateral moves.
Azerbaijan said it calls on the international community to act responsibly and in line with international law regarding Somalia, reaffirming its stance in favour of globally recognised borders and against separatism.
