“We consider the possibility of high-level visits from the United States to Azerbaijan inappropriate,” Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a commentary in response to groundless remarks by US Assistant Secretary of State James O’Brien at the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Subcommittee on Europe hearing, Report informs.
“Concerning the statement that the US side has canceled high-level bilateral meetings and engagements, which were initiated by the US side with Azerbaijan, and ‘there cannot be ‘business as usual’ in our bilateral relationship,’ it should be noted that the relations could not be one-sided. Consequently, the same approach will be applied equally by Azerbaijan. In these circumstances, we consider the possibility of high-level visits from the United States to Azerbaijan inappropriate as well,” MFA said.
