Azerbaijani official criticizes U.S. congressmen, alleging bias over human rights and war crimes.

Azerbaijani Ombudswoman Sabina Aliyeva criticized US Congressmen Frank Pallone and Ed Markey for their recent statements about Azerbaijan, alleging bias and a lack of attention to the safe return of displaced Azerbaijanis. Aliyeva also condemned Pallone's support for an 'entity' leader under investigation for war crimes. Human rights advocates internationally are urging the international community to address Azerbaijan's human rights abuses, including the detention of Armenian prisoners of war, amid concerns that these issues could be overshadowed by the hosting of the UN Climate Change Conference.
