"An attempt to present the migration of Armenian residents from Garabagh region of Azerbaijan to Armenia as a forced movement is baseless and unjust," Aykhan Hajizada, Spokesperson of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on X in response to the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Samantha Power, APA reports.
He noted that Power has voiced "no single word on presence of illegal Armenian armed forces in sovereign territories of Azerbaijan for almost 30 years and even in post-conflict stage contrary to international law and obligations of Armenia."
Aykhan Hajizada stated that during her regional visit, Samantha Power met with Armenians migrated to Armenia while the following day refused to meet with Azerbaijani IDPs and refugees who were deprived from their fundamental rights as a result of Armenian aggression.
"Notwithstanding 10 times larger number of Azerbaijani IDPs, (there was) no single visit at the level of USAID Administrator during almost 30 years-long occupation to study the dire situation of Azerbaijanis," Ministry Spokesperson stressed.
