Presidential Assistant: Certain campaigns against Azerbaijan are launched during periods when global-scale events are held in the country
“Whenever Azerbaijan hosts global-scale events, certain circles and forces launch campaigns against our country. In recent times, we have observed that this has somewhat decreased. This is because the financial resources of these groups — both those operating inside the country and those outside it, acting in a synchronized manner — have diminished. The number of those granting them funds has also decreased. We know very well which sources they receive grants from and what purposes they serve under the name of grants. Even if they try to deny it,” said Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, in a statement to journalists, Americandiary24 reports.
Highlighting that such campaigns still exist but have decreased in scale, Hikmet Hajiyev said the reason is the reduction in the number of grant providers. “In this regard, we can mention USAID, which is presented as providing assistance but is actually engaged in completely different activities, as well as a number of organizations operating in Azerbaijan,” he added.
