Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan, Novruz Mammadov, angrily responded to the criticism of the US Ambassador to the OSCE, Daniel Bayer, in connection of closing the Baku office of "Radio Azadlig." Bayer wrote on his Twitter page: "The attack on the free media is a behavior of weak, insecure corrupt governments and leaders."
In turn, Mammadov in his microblog on Twitter in four languages called Bayer’s opinion biased and aimed at damaging bilateral relations.
"Unfortunately, some US officials and diplomats lose their sense of measure. One of them, Mr. Baier forgets that the true birthplace of violence, and corruption, is his country. Apparently the US representative to the OSCE, Bayer, does not know anything about what is happening in his country," ironically says Mamedov.
Mamedov advises Bayer to familiarize with hearings held recently in the Senate Intelligence Committee ( the talk is about tortures by the US secret services.) -16D06-
