Tirana, March 9 – Prime Minister Edi Rama condemned a ballistic missile attack by Iran against Turkey. He said Albania stands firmly alongside Türkiye and all allies in defending the security and unity of their alliance.

Rama described Türkiye as a friendly country, a strategic partner of Albania, and a valued ally in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

He said the recent attack marked the second such strike in recent days. Rama added that the situation raised serious concern and highlighted the aggressive and destabilizing nature of these actions.

The prime minister warned that Iran’s efforts to spread tension and instability through repeated attacks on neighboring countries pose serious risks.

He also welcomed the rapid response of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in defending the alliance’s territory, airspace, and citizens.
