Azerbaijan urges global donors to avoid double standards in assisting Garabagh Armenians

    POLITICS  01 October 2023 - 09:28

    Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration, Hikmet Hajiyev, has said that non-discriminatory and non-selective humanitarian response and assistance should be the underpinning principle of humanity.

    He made the remarks on social network X, commenting on the assistance provided by the international donor community to the Armenian residents of Azerbaijan’s Garabagh region, Caliber.Az reports.

    “Non-discriminatory and non-selective humanitarian response and assistance should be the underpinning principle of humanity. It is a positive indication that the international donor community is helping Armenian civilians from Azerbaijan’s Garabagh region, who, by the way, voluntarily decided to go to Armenia and are holders of the passport of the Republic of Armenia,” Hajiyev said.

    “But, a million more Azerbaijani IDPs and refugees, who were subject to bloody ethnic cleansing as a result of 30 years long occupation of Armenia, face complete ignorance, discriminatory and selective attitude by the donor community. Equal treatment and avoiding a discriminatory attitude in humanitarian assistance is crucial regardless of ethnicity, race, and religion,” he wrote.

    The presidential aide added that the government of Azerbaijan alone has been sustaining and meeting all requirements of millions more IDPs and refugees for almost 30 years.

    “We are facing a selective and discriminatory attitude and double standards in this sphere as well. Ensuring the decent and safe return of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs to their homes, which were razed to the ground and massively infested with landmines by Armenia, remains a huge task to be fulfilled,” Hajiyev added.
