BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 12. The Western
Azerbaijan Community strongly condemns the attempts of US Secretary
of State Antony Blinken and other officials of the country to
rudely interfere in the internal affairs of Azerbaijan, which have
already become tendentious, the statement of the Western Azerbaijan
Community said, Trend reports.
“We would like to regretfully emphasize that over the years we
have not seen any condemnation by the US of Armenia's Occupation of
Azerbaijani lands, its policy of ethnic cleansing, and deportation
of Western Azerbaijanis. US officials sided not with Azerbaijan,
whose lands were occupied, not with hundreds of thousands of IDPs
and families of thousands of missing persons, but with the
occupier, Armenia, a group of disgraced marginalized elements with
no authority in Azerbaijani society. After the Second Karabakh War,
we once again witnessed the differentiated approach of the US
towards all this, especially towards the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of countries. We witnessed that the US did not react to
the letter addressed to the same Antony Blinken from the Western
Azerbaijan Community, which chose the path of peaceful return to
its ancestral lands but at the same time welcomed, issued visas,
and provided opportunities to speak in various American
institutions to separatists involved in the implementation of the
policy of ethnic cleansing against the Azerbaijani people, who
threaten the sovereignty of Azerbaijan to this day, being already
in Armenia.
We have not heard the US positioning itself as a country
respecting religious freedom, preparing“authoritative” reports,
and including countries in various far-fetched lists, expressing
concern about the state of“Armenian heritage” in Karabakh,
condemning the destruction and distortion of the rich cultural
heritage of the Azerbaijani people on the territory of Armenia.
Through all this, the U.S. has lost its remaining credibility in
Azerbaijani society.
Instead of using the“human rights” theme, fake news media, and
“independent” NGOs as a weapon against Azerbaijan, the US should
accede to the most important international human rights
conventions, put an end to the use of excessive force by police, as
reflected in numerous reports by various international
organizations, as well as practices such as racial profiling and
structured racism by law enforcement agencies, address the problem
of gun violence, investigate the facts of torture, and put an end
to the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies,'' the
statement reads.
