“America imposed sanctions against us in 1992, at a time when our territories were being lost. The sanctions were lifted in 2001,” said President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting with residents in the city of Jabrayil.
Speaking about the reasons for this, the head of state said: “Their occupation activities in Afghanistan had begun, a war of aggression had started, and they needed us. As long as they remained in Afghanistan, these sanctions were lifted by the American President every year. However, when they fled Afghanistan—right in front of the whole world—these sanctions were reimposed against us. Is there a degree of ingratitude or not?!”
