voiced by the acting Assistant to the US Secretary of State on European and Eurasia Yuri Kim, statements have nothing to do with reality and contain elements of a slanderous campaign against Azerbaijan around the world.
About this, the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Ayhan Gadjizade.
On September 14, at the hearing in the US Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, the acting assistant to the US Secretary of State on European and Eurasia, Yuri Kim said that the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan has not yet been over, the Lachinsky road is in the Blocade, and a military offensive against The “Armenian people of Karabakh” is unacceptable and that their rights and security should be enshrined in a peaceful agreement.
“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.
The department emphasized that the statements of Yuri Kim do not reflect the current situation and realities in the region in the post -conflict period.
“These statements contradict the agreement on the simultaneous use of the roads of Agdam – Khankendi and Lachin – Hangkendi, discussed during the conversation between President Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on September 1, and also contain elements of the Armenia slander campaign against Azerbaijan. It is well known that this agreement was violated by Armenia and the illegal regime created by it, as well as that the charges of Blocad and the Humanitarian Crisis are unfounded, ”said the representative of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Azerbaijani representative advised the “international community, including the American side, not to participate in the actions that contribute to destabilization in the region, not to follow the slanderous campaign of Armenia”.
