On Friday, over 25 American congressmen from both Democratic and Republican parties presented a bill to impose sanctions on Azerbaijan. Authored by congressmen Dina Titus and Gus Bilirakis, the bill includes individual sanctions against more than 40 Azerbaijani officials and security forces.
The resolution proposes imposing sanctions on Azerbaijan for ongoing human rights violations, including crimes against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Congresswoman Titus, one of the authors of the bill, stated that sanctions should be imposed on Azerbaijani officials for ethnic cleansing against Armenians in Artsakh and repression of the opposition.
The bill has sparked controversy and attracted attention from various media outlets. The authors of the document believe that taking action against Azerbaijan is necessary to address human rights violations and stand up against injustice. The issue of sanctions against Azerbaijani officials is expected to be a topic of debate and discussion in the coming weeks as the bill makes its way through the legislative process.
