Who congratulated Azerbaijan on the occasion of its victory in the Second Artsakh War?
I decided to collect a list of countries and organizations that officially welcomed Baku in 2026.
Turkey (President of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Nationalist Party MHP and "New Party").
Pakistan (President and Prime Minister).
Saudi Arabia (the king and crown prince).
Kyrgyzstan (President).
Uzbekistan (President).
Kazakhstan (President).
Syria (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
Ukraine (Ambassador in Azerbaijan).
Israel (Embassy in Azerbaijan).
"Northern Cyprus" (MFA).
From organizations: the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Islamic World Organization of Education, Science and Culture, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Turkish States, the Turkish Culture and Heritage Fund, the Turkish Investment Fund, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, the International Center for the Rapprochement of Cultures under the auspices of UNESCO.
That is, to advance its agenda, Azerbaijan continues to exploit: Turkish and Islamic multilateral platforms; a network of Turkish allies; Personal relationships in international organizations.
It is worth noting that in 2025 this list was shorter and did not include: Syria, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Turkish Investment Fund. This means that in 2026, Baku made special efforts to achieve greater diplomatic effect.
But even more interesting is who did not congratulate Azerbaijan. None of the neighbors sent greetings (Russia, Iran, Georgia). This list also does not include major powers from among the permanent members of the UN Security Council (USA, China, France, Great Britain) and there is no European Union.
