The U.S. Embassy: John Kerry did not call to Mamedyarov

The information about a phone call by the  Secretary of State, John Kerry, to the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, does not correspond to reality, Turan was told by  the press service of the US Embassy, commenting  a fudge of  an Azerbaijani agency, claiming that Kerry asked  Mammadyarov about the NDI  and the OSCE Office.

"The State Department and the private office of John Kerry denied the call," – says  the  press service of the Embassy.

Later in the afternoon the press service of Azerbaijan’s  Foreign Ministry,  also stated there was not a  call from the  U.S. Secretary of State.

Commenting on these rumors, a former diplomat, who requested anonymity, told Turan, that such rumors probably are started by the Azerbaijani authorities.

“Official Baku wants to represent the matter so as if the U.S. is asking  Baku not to close the offices of  the OSCE  and NDI.

And Baku showing, "generosity", considers the interests of its partner. But  everything looks  so stupid that can  impress only the audience  of  AZTV,” - said the former diplomat. -02В-
