BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 25. Secretary General of
the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic States (TURKPA) Ramil Hasan
released a statement condemning a bill containing a series of
allegations of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. House
of Representatives against Azerbaijan on July 22, 2026.
This was announced in a report issued on TURKPA's official
website.
The Secretary General expressed concern that this initiative
comes at a time when Azerbaijan and Armenia are engaged in an
active process of normalization and peacebuilding in the South
Caucasus.
He noted that legislative decisions on such important and
sensitive matters should be based on an objective assessment of
facts and the principles of international law, and should not be
shaped by the interests of particular lobbying groups.
"TURKPA calls on legislative bodies to refrain from taking steps
that could adversaly affect the ongoing normalization process
between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
TURKPA once again reiterates its commitment to the principles of
good-neighborliness, mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial
integrity of all states," the statement pointed out.
