Mubariz Ahmedoglu, the Director of the Center for Political Innovations and Technologies, labeled the statement of the U.S embassy in Azerbaijan, which voiced concern over the April 2 opposition rally dispersal, as inappropriate.

“Let us recall the tenseness that had accompanied the process of [U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew] Bryza’s arrival in Azerbaijan and had been caused by pro-Armenian Senators. Probably, now Bryza thinks that the U.S. Senate should confirm his appointment as an ambassador to Azerbaijan in November, otherwise his mission will be completed,” said Ahmedoglu.

Under such circumstances, Bryza cannot but consider the opinion of Congressmen supporting Armenians and tries to “cajole” them, the Azerbaijani expert said.

“Now, it is Bryza’s main task and basic reason behind the statements made by him in Baku. After his appointment to Azerbaijan, Bryza has taken certain actions basically aimed at gaining votes of the Senators supporting Armenians,” SalamNews quoted Ahmedoglu as saying.
