This year, the International Astronautical Conference will be held in Azerbaijan, which caused the indignation of the American astronaut Garrett Reisman.
“Why is IAC in Azerbaijan - a country guilty of recent military aggression against its neighbor Armenia? Azerbaijan is one of the most corrupt nations with one of the worst human rights records in Europe. I'm not going, and if you are, please reconsider,” Garrett Reisman tweeted.
