“Western countries have shown double standards toward us," said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov at a press conference on the results of the year, APA reports.
“Unfortunately, the politicization of humanitarian issues is not a new topic used against our country. These tools have been employed against us for many years. In 2023, just a few months after the anti-terror operations, we witnessed the suspension of our delegation’s participation in the Council of Europe. The reason was our independent and principled stance.
We see an intolerant approach in a number of European countries toward separatism existing in places such as Ukraine and Moldova. However, when it comes to separatism in Azerbaijan, a completely different approach is applied. The so-called ‘foreign minister’ of the fictitious regime, David Babayan, was granted a 10-year travel visa by European capitals.
Look at what is happening today in neighboring countries — have you seen any protest from Europe against steps taken against religious figures or diaspora representatives abroad? No. We do not interfere in the internal affairs of any country. But global processes are changing. Many states are already behaving differently. The world’s main political center, the United States, criticized a number of European countries in its 2025 Human Rights Report,” said Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister, Jeyhun Bayramov.
