“First of all, it is known that the initiator and organizer of the mentioned hearings was the Provarmyan senator Robert Menendes, who is distinguished by a hostile position in relation to our country. While the accusations of corruption are made against the specified senator and investigations are being conducted, the fact that this is The person is still engaged in activities against Azerbaijan, based on false statements of the radical representatives of the Armenian diaspora, once again proves that the rules of political ethics for the specified person are an alien concept, ”the Azerbaijani diplomatic mission said.
