Azerbaijan displeased with Obama administration
OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza and head of international relations department at Azerbaijani president's administration Novruz Mammadov continue a battle of words.

In an interview with Azeri Press Agency, Mr. Bryza refuted Mammadov's statement that the Prague talks ended in a fiasco.

"I am a mediator and I assess the ongoing processes. Mammadov was not present at any of the meetings and can't know how these proceeded," Bryza said.

Mammadov's response followed immediately. At that, he did not restrict himself to slamming Bryza. Mammadov accused the entire Obama administration of pro-Armenian mood.
