Blaming Armenia is a clear sign of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's bad faith arguments during and after the war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) last year. US Congressman Frank Pallone, who co-chairs the Congressional Armenian Caucus, wrote about this on Twitter.

“The U.S. shouldn't blame both sides when casting guilt for the bloodshed & instability in the region. [The US] StateDept must use every tool available to stop Aliyev's aggression,” the American lawmaker added.
