The pressure and attacks of anti-Azerbaijani forces are intensifying as the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) is approaching, the statement of the Western Azerbaijan Community (WAC) said, AzVision.az reports.

“Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch organizations, in their statements today, abused the fact of Azerbaijan's acceptance of COP29, putting forward slander and unreasonable demands against our country. The publication of these statements on the same day once again shows that the attacks on Azerbaijan, which have become more frequent in recent weeks, are regulated from a single center, which controls both mentioned organizations,” the statement notes.

The statement also points out that these politically motivated attacks by forces unable to accept the fact of Azerbaijan's restoration of its sovereignty are an attempt to cast a shadow on the country's successes in the international arena and discredit it.

“The appeal sent by our community to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch in August last year regarding the protection of the rights of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia, which was left unanswered, demonstrates how far these organizations are from the principles of human rights. All this indicates that Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch act as political tools in the hands of certain circles and pursue a policy of discrimination against Azerbaijan on ethnic and religious grounds. We strongly condemn the anti-Azerbaijani position of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, their contrary to human rights behavior and policy of racial discrimination, and urge them to stop these erroneous actions,” the WAC statement stresses.
