US Congress Demands Investigation into - US Congress Ilham Aliyev's bodyguards - Several members of the US Congress have called for a detailed investigation into the intervention of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's guards against protesters in Washington. This incident occurred during President Aliyev's visit to the US and drew the attention of the international community.
According to available information, the incident occurred near the hotel where President Aliyev was staying, during a demonstration held by a group of activists protesting the Azerbaijani government's policies. Witness testimonies and images circulated on social media clearly show the guards using violence against the protesters.
Members of Congress specifically emphasized that it is unacceptable for foreign security forces on US territory to violate citizens' freedom of assembly and expression. They noted that such incidents are completely contrary to US laws and could lead to serious legal consequences.
The appeal calls on the US Department of State and other relevant agencies to thoroughly investigate the incident, identify those responsible, and take necessary measures. Members of Congress also stressed that this issue will play a significant role in bilateral relations with Azerbaijan.
Such incidents raise serious questions regarding international legal norms and diplomatic protocols. It is extremely important for foreign leaders' guards to comply with the laws of the host country and respect the rights of local citizens.
The investigation of this incident will be a clear indication of the US's commitment to protecting civil liberties on its territory. The results obtained will set a precedent for both US-Azerbaijan relations and similar diplomatic visits that may occur in the future.
