Azerbaijan Suspends Cooperation with USAID

News summary

Azerbaijan has officially ended its cooperation agreement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov citing the agency's alleged political interference as the reason. Bayramov stated that Baku had suspended ties with USAID in June 2024 and criticized USAID's activities for promoting U.S. interests rather than aiding Azerbaijan. The decision follows criticism from USAID Administrator Samantha Power regarding Azerbaijan's military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh, which resulted in significant displacement of people. Hikmet Hajiyev, an adviser to President Ilham Aliyev, declared that USAID 'has no place in Azerbaijan anymore.' This move reflects a broader trend, as other post-Soviet nations, including Russia and Abkhazia, have also severed ties with USAID in recent years. The cessation raises concerns about the future of U.S.-Azerbaijan relations and the effectiveness of international aid in the region.
