Any unfriendly action against Azerbaijan would be adequately addressed MFA spox Hajizada responds to US State Dept

Head of the Press Service Department of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Aykhan Hajizada commented on the anti-Azerbaijani statements of the US State Department representatives.

"Unfortunately, the United States, while being a mediator for decades, has never advocated so steadfastly for supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and for providing humanitarian assistance to Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs who became the victim of ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Armenia," he said, according to Caliber.Az.

"On the contrary, the United States directed Armenia on the wrong path and supported the sustainment of the illegal regime in the territories of Azerbaijan by funding and providing opportunities for the representatives of the separatists to visit the United States to advocate for their illegitimate cause," MFA spokesperson stressed.

"There would be no need to resolve the threat against Azerbaijan by force, and the issue would have been solved peacefully if the United States would react differently concerning threats against Azerbaijan and international peace and security. It was the mediation efforts involving the United States failing to yield results and the failure to prevent Armenia's aggressive policy that led Azerbaijan to liberate its lands militarily. Therefore, among other facts the United States also bears responsibility for its inaction to resolve the former conflict peacefully," Hajizada said.
