President Ilham Aliyev, in his speech at the opening ceremony of the XII Global Baku Forum, stated that Antony Blinken's policy has, in fact, ruined U.S.-Azerbaijan relations.
"We spent decades building those relations. We were reliable and close partners with the U.S., and they were with us; when we needed them, we were with them.

He further pointed out that after we left, they imposed sanctions on us, which created great disappointment in Azerbaijan.
