"Antony Blinken’s policy towards Azerbaijan ruined US-Azerbaijani relations, said President Ilham Aliyev." President Ilham Aliyev said this in his address at the opening ceremony of the 12th Global Baku Forum. “The policy of Mr. Antony Blinken towards Azerbaijan actually ruined US-Azerbaijani relations, which we had been building for 30 years. We have always been a very reliable partner and friend to the United States. When they needed us, we were with them. When they needed us in Iraq, we were in Iraq with our troops. When they needed us in Afghanistan, we were one of the first non-NATO countries to join operations in Afghanistan in 2001. And we were among the last to leave. But after we left, they imposed sanctions on us. I remember it was a big frustration in Azerbaijan,” the President added. To recall, the XII Global Baku Forum on the theme "Rethinking the World Order: Turning Challenges into Opportunities" kicked off in Baku. President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended and addressed the opening ceremony of the forum.
