Human rights depend on an independent, effective judicial system, free from corruption.

The U.S. does provide some security assistance to Azerbaijan, and we do it because it directly serves U.S. national interests.

If confirmed, and consistent with American values, I will continue to speak out strongly in support of human rights in Cyprus.

I believe that in cases such as Cyprus, unless we reconcile ourselves with the past, it is difficult to move forward.
