ԵՌԱԳՈՅՆ. The US citizens have launched a petition urging to stop the US military aid and the USAID funding to Azerbaijan.
The petition has been opened at the White House official website.
“Over $1.5 billion in American taxpayer money is being wasted funding an autocratic government which is ruled by an oil rich oligarch, Ilham Aliyev (President) and his wife (Vice-President). The money has been misappropriated and misused to cause regional wars”, stated in the statement.
The petition organizers say Azerbaijani values do not align with the democratic values of the United States, nor provide any benefit for the people.
