“Sixty pro-Armenian members of the U.S. Congress have appealed to the American government to impose new sanctions on Azerbaijan. This morning, I skimmed through that appeal; it is a vile appeal and cannot influence our will. However, what does it show? The policy of hostility against us does not stop,” said President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting with residents in the city of Jabrayil.
The head of state said: “When I looked at that appeal, I guessed that both its author and its addressee are the same. Because the addressee is the U.S. Secretary of State. However, I have not the slightest doubt that this appeal was also written within the U.S. State Department. In other words, they are writing letters to themselves to threaten and accuse us.”
