BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 14. Renowned political analyst and journalist, founder and CEO of the Don Gracia Center for Diplomacy, Rachel Avraham, has condemned the US congress members for their actions in an article titled "COP29 Should Not Be Politicized" published on the website of the New York-based Foreign Policy Association, TurkicWorld reports via Azerbaijan's State Committee on Diaspora Affairs.
In her article, Avraham criticized Congressman Frank Pallone, founder and co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues in the U.S. Congress, along with 60 other members of Congress, led by Senator Ed Markey, for urging U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to use the COP29 conference as a platform to criticize Azerbaijan.
The article points out that, in doing so, the congressmen and senators are effectively urging the US Secretary of State to condemn one of America's most reliable allies in the South Caucasus. It highlights that Azerbaijan is committed to building a sustainable future for the greater good. The pressure being exerted on Azerbaijan not only contradicts US interests in the region but also undermines the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and the US on key issues such as climate change. By taking these actions, US lawmakers are attempting to politicize an important conference where the global community should be focused on finding solutions to the climate crisis.
