Leaders of Azerbaijan and Syria discuss energy cooperation as they rebuild ties

On July 12, 2025, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met Syria's interim leader Ahmad Al-Sharaa in Baku to discuss bilateral cooperation.
The meeting followed Assad's removal and worsening ties under his government, leading both sides to seek renewed collaboration.
They committed to enhancing their collaboration by facilitating the delivery of Azerbaijani natural gas to Syria through Turkish routes and supporting the reconstruction of Syria’s energy systems.
Al-Sharaa thanked Aliyev for Azerbaijan's "brotherly support" and criticized Assad’s regime for damaging international relations, according to the presidential press service.
The talks underscore Azerbaijan's mediator role in regional Syrian affairs, potentially impacting energy reconstruction and easing tensions between Turkey and Israel.
