The US authorities are manipulating sanctions against Azerbaijan. This was stated by President Ilham Aliyev.
At a meeting with residents of Jabrail town, he recalled that the US imposed sanctions against Azerbaijan in 1992, but they were suspended in 2001.
This, Aliyev said, coincided with the beginning of the occupation of Afghanistan, when Washington needed Azerbaijan.
“While they were in Afghanistan, the US president suspended these sanctions every year. As soon as they – in front of the eyes of the whole world – escaped from there, they applied sanctions against us again,” Aliyev’s press service quoted his press service as saying.
Earlier, Aliyev said the West plans to turn Armenia against Azerbaijan to keep Baku under constant pressure.
