Executive Summary

Attempted embassy attacks and severe urban flooding threaten daily operations for foreign personnel in Baku.

This instability coincides with rising political repression and massive civilian evacuations across the Iranian border. Employees must avoid the Sabail district and prepare for localized protests near the Nasimi courthouse.
