It may be recalled that Prime Minister Imran Khan said in a tweet on Sunday that he saluted the Azeri army for protecting regional integrity and sovereignty in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Pakistan stands with Azerbaijan in resolving Nagorno-Karabakh in the light of Security Council resolutions.
یوم آزادی کےموقع پر میں جناب @presidentaz اورآذربائیجان کےبرادرانہ عوام کودلی مبارکباد پیش کرتاہوں۔ہم اپنی جغرافیائی سالمیت کاپوری جرأت سےدفاع کرنےوالی آذری فوجوں کوبھی سلام پیش کرتےہیں۔پاکستان سلامتی کونسل کی قرارداوں کی روشنی میں ناگورنو-کاراباخ کے حل کیلئےآذربائیجان کےساتھ ہے۔

The Pakistani prime minister's statement came after a statement by the Armenian prime minister claiming that Pakistani forces had been involved in the battle of Nagorno-Karabakh. The Pakistani foreign office dismissed the claim as baseless. Was rejected.
It should be noted that Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but since the end of the war between the two countries in 1994, it has been governed by people of Armenian descent.
This is the fiercest battle between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh in recent years.
Globally, Nagorno-Karabakh is a recognized territory of Azerbaijan, but it has been occupied by the Armenian tribal group through the army, while Pakistan is the only country that has not recognized Armenia due to this occupation.
On the other hand, Azerbaijan is heavily involved in the war with Armenia and has so far recaptured several areas of Nagorno-Karabakh.
