[]
MassisPost
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) have introduced a bipartisan bill calling for a review of sanctions against Azerbaijan for violations of international law, the Armenian Assembly reports.
The legislation requires the President to determine whether Global Magnitsky sanctions apply to senior Azerbaijani officials responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh in 2023 and for the ongoing repression of political opposition inside Azerbaijan.
Nor have those responsible for serious human rights violations and war crimes faced legal consequences,” the bill stated.
“The Aliyev government rejected calls from the international community to withdraw and ease tensions, and instead launched an assault on the Armenian community in Artsakh.
If President Trump will not acknowledge Azerbaijan’s atrocious human rights record, I will.
