Trump cancels Baku hotel contract

Just one day after the Embassy of Azerbaijan, Washington, D.C. was touting its controversial held at the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C., is reporting the cancellation of The Trump Organization’s hotel deal in Baku.

“The beleaguered Baku deal involved Anar Mammadov, the son of Azerbaijan’s “notoriously corrupt” Transportation Minister, whose multi-million dollar anti-Armenian lobby effort in DC has unceremoniously tanked over recent years,” the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) said.

The Trump Organization has recently terminated three overseas deals in what the company’s attorney described to CNN on Thursday as “housecleaning.”

Alan Garten said the Trump Organization terminated its licensing deal for a Trump Hotel in Baku , Azerbaijan. In addition, the company has terminated its business licensing deals in Rio de Janeiro for both a hotel project and a five-building office complex that was part of the Marvelous Port Redevelopment plan.
