Senior US diplomat cancels visit to Baku
Tom Malinowski, assistant US secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, has postponed a visit to Azerbaijan.
During a visit to Baku in February, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland said the two countries agreed to start US-Azerbaijan dialogue on civil society and democracy.
However, the scheduled meeting for May has been postponed, according to Turan news agency.
A State Department official told Turan: "While the US and Azerbaijan agreed to hold such dialogue during Victoria Nuland's visit to Baku, we simply don't believe that such a dialogue would be productive right now given the current climate. That's our judgment and our decision".
