Ambassador: Azerbaijani Embassy in Egypt calls on its citizens to be careful

The Azerbaijani Embassy in Egypt called on its citizens to be careful due to the recent unrest in the country.

The Azerbaijani diplomatic mission in Egypt has warned the citizens temporarily staying in this country about the potential danger due to the recent riots in Cairo and other cities. It urged them to be careful, Azerbaijani ambassador to Egypt, Shahin Abdullayev, said.

The diplomatic mission sent SMS to all Azerbaijani citizens staying in Egypt. It urged them to avoid the crowded places and be careful, ambassador said.

The Egyptian military clashed with demonstrators at Tahrir Square in the center of Cairo on Saturday night. The demonstrators demanded to prosecute former President Hosni Mubarak and other officials.

The clashes continued until 7:00 local time on Saturday.

Azerbaijani citizens, who previously left the country after the events in February, have already returned to Egypt.

Azerbaijan was one of the counties which evacuated Azerbaijani citizens from Egypt during the massive anti-governmental protests against former President Mubarak.
