Ilham Aliyev condemned the Dutch parliament for the idea of adopting sanctions against Azerbaijan and Turkey
Baku/18.11.20/Turan: The Dutch parliament made a decision on sanctions against Azerbaijan, as well as Turkey, despite the fact that the Foreign Minister was against this and during the discussions advocated a balanced approach. However, the parliament still made an unfair decision. This will not promote close relations between Azerbaijan and the Netherlands, stated on Wednesday the head of state Ilham Aliyev, accepting the credentials of the new Ambassador of the Netherlands to Azerbaijan Pauline Eisem.
In response, the ambassador said that the position of the Dutch government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country differs from that of the parliament. Therefore, there can be no talk about the adoption of sanctions. The Foreign Minister of the Netherlands said this during the discussions in parliament, and also expressed this position in writing, the Ambassador noted.-02D-
