The fact that recent reports of a bill having been presented to U.S. Congress on imposing sanctions against Azerbaijani senior officials and the decision of the Council of Europe secretary general to send a human rights fact-finding mission to Azerbaijan is no coincidence and makes everything clear, Samad Seyidov, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, chairman of the US-Azerbaijani interparliamentary working group and MP told.
He noted that intriguing processes are going on.
“This is the signal of a new anti-Azerbaijani waive,” said the MP. “We think reports that the US is going to impose any anti-Azerbaijani sanctions or devising any planes towards that are not convincing.”
There have been similar attempts and these same forces are not going to give up their anti-Azerbaijan efforts, Seyidov added.
“Nevertheless, time shows this type of initiatives never result in something successful and cannot. Moreover, these steps will backfire on the countries imposing those sanctions,” he stressed.
The U.S. Helsinki Commission (NJ-04), chaired by Chris Smith, submitted to Congress a bill Wednesday seeking sanctions against some senior government officials of Azerbaijan.
