USAID administrator Power gets serious backlash from Baku Her crystal-clear bias costs USAID dear

During 30 years long occupation of Azerbaijan's land by Armenia when a million more Azerbaijanis were subject to notorious and bloody ethnic cleansing the United States stood with the aggressor state of Armenia, and nowadays, the same policy continues in the same form and manifestation.

The statement was published on November 21 on X by Hikmet Hajiyev, Foreign Policy Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

"Pretending to academic or professional impartiality would be incorrect, as professor of 'Human Rights' Practice at the University Samantha Power in her propaganda book "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide (2002)' passed in complete silence over the genocide and atrocities committed by Armenia against innocent Azerbaijani civilians. As United States PermRep at the United Nations Security Council, she never dared to raise the plight of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs and demand implementation of UNSC resolutions, let alone condemn the occupation of Armenia," Hajiyev wrote, per Caliber.Az.

He added that under the umbrella of the Aurora Prize, Samantha Power came together with the founder of this fund, notorious oligarch and money launderer Ruben Vardanyan who also financed separatism in Ukraine.

"Interestingly, in 2019, European Parliament members demanded sanctions against Troyka Dialogue Banker(s) founder - Ruben Vardanyan for money laundering schemes. Ruben Vardanyan was also planning a coup d'etat against the United States-supported political leadership of Armenia after having established himself in Karabakh in October 2022.

Azerbaijanophobia, Turkphobia, political corruption, "moneytalkism", and political speculations under the so-called Aurora prize were probably shared values and interests between Ruben Vardanyan and Samantha Power.

Mask Off! There is no place for USAID operations in Azerbaijan any longer!" Hajiyev concluded.

Note that Power allegedly blamed Azerbaijan for a so-called "military operation" in Karabakh and "forcing" the region's Armenian minority to leave their homes, pledging US solidarity with Karabakh Armenians.
