BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 28. Azerbaijani
diaspora organizations have addressed an appeal to the United
States (US) President Donald Trump in protest against statements
made by the Mayor of New York, Trend reports.
Azerbaijanis living in different countries have consistently
demonstrated an active and principled stance on issues related to
national interests and historical facts.
The reaction follows comments made by New York Mayor Zohran
Mamdani on his X page, which were described as unfounded and biased
against Azerbaijan.
Organizations, including the Hamilton Azerbaijan Society,
Azerbaijan House Canada, the “Vatan” Azerbaijan Art and Culture
Center, the “Az Media” group, as well as the Azerbaijan Cultural
Center in Israel and the “AzIz” Israel-Azerbaijan International
Association, sent letters to President Donald Trump, stressing that
the mayor’s claims contradict the norms and principles of
international law.
The letters express serious concern over the accusations
directed at the Azerbaijani people. They note that at a time when
the US supports a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia
and important steps are being taken toward normalization with the
mediation of international partners, such biased approaches could
negatively affect the constructive process.
The statement also emphasized that equal rights and security
guarantees have been offered within the framework of reintegration
to the Armenian-origin population living in the Karabakh region,
alongside concrete measures for their social and economic
integration. The letters underline that no cases of ethnic-based
violence against civilians have been recorded and that actions have
been conducted in accordance with international law.
The letters also recall the severe consequences of the Khojaly
genocide and point out that the incident has yet to receive proper
legal and political assessment at the international level.
In letters, the diaspora organizations called on Donald Trump to
pay attention to the issue of unfounded accusations directed
against the Azerbaijani people.
