Athens to move Tehran embassy to Azerbaijan: foreign ministry
Athens, March 12 (AFP) Mar 12, 2026
Greece on Thursday became the latest European state to relocate its Iran embassy services from Tehran to Baku in Azerbaijan due to the Middle East war.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Lana Zochiou said the decision was taken owing to "deteriorating security conditions" in Tehran.

The move follows Spain, Austria and Italy, which have temporarily closed and relocated their embassies to Baku in recent days because of the US-Israel war on Iran.

Switzerland on Wednesday said it was temporarily closing its embassy.
