A statement by deputy spokesman Mark Toner said the decision would strengthen the country of Azerbaijan and its relationship with the U.S. The statement also urged the Azerbaijani government to drop the remaining charges against her.

　　Human rights groups echoed that idea. Human Rights Watch also called on the government of Azerbaijan to release other journalists and activists held on politically motivated charges.

　　美国国务院同样对释放伊洛娃有正面评价。副发言人唐纳(Mark Toner)声明这一举动将有利于阿塞拜疆的发展，并同时加强阿塞拜疆和美国的关系。他还表示阿塞拜疆因撤销对伊洛娃的其他指控。人权组织积极回应了这一观点。人权观察组织也呼吁阿塞拜疆政府释放其他出于政治原因被关押的记者和活动家们。
