BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 15. The legitimate
court decision regarding Bakhtiyar Hajiyev was made based on
irrefutable evidence in the case, and any foreign interference in
the judicial process is unacceptable, said Aykhan Hajizada, the
spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, in
response to a post by the US Embassy in Azerbaijan on his official
X page, Trend
reports.
"Interestingly, the same types of tax fraud and financial crimes
are punished much more harshly in the US, with prison sentences of
up to thirty years, so it is surprising that there is
dissatisfaction with the punishments imposed for such crimes in
other countries," the publication reads.
The spokesperson emphasized that such statements are based on
political interests rather than the defense of the rule of law.
