    Washington sees no ground for "Arab spring" in Baku - U.S. ambassador

    BAKU. Dec 30


    Washington sees no ground for any revolutions in Azerbaijan, U.S.
    Ambassador to Baku Matthew Bryza told reporters at his final press
    conference in Baku on Thursday.

    He said he did not think that there were any chances of an "Arab
    spring"-style revolution breaking out in Azerbaijan.

    In Bryza's opinion, the situation in Azerbaijan differs from the one
    that had triggered revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. Besides, there
    are many modern-minded people in the Azeri government, who are aware
    of the importance of reforms, he said.

    No status quo is acceptable either in this issue or in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, the ambassador went on.

    The United States supports efforts aimed at ensuring basic human
    rights, including the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech,
    but it does not support revolutions, Bryza said. He added that the
    outcome of revolutions was very hard to predict.
