The question of the accession of Azerbaijan to the Islamic anti-terrorist coalition is under consideration. This was stated by Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov at a joint press conference with the Turkish FM Mevlut Cavusoglu in Baku.
"The fight against terrorism is a widespread issue. Azerbaijan has received an invitation to participate in the Islamic anti-terrorist coalition, but so far there is no decision," he said.
Recall that the coalition initiated by Saudi Arabia has more than 35 countries. This coalition is a counterbalance to the coalition of Russia, Iran and the Assad regime. -06D--
