Armenian expert accused the US ambassador of violating the  presumption of innocence when assessing the Armenian-Azerbaijani  clashes in Los Angeles

ArmInfo.Armenian expert on America Suren Sargsyan caught the US Ambassador to Azerbaijan of violating the presumption of innocence when assessing incidents  between Armenians and Azerbaijanis in Los Angeles.

So, on his Facebook page, Sargsyan wrote that the US ambassador to  Baku accused the Armenians of the Armenian-Azerbaijani clashes in Los  Angeles. "He accused the Armenians of provocation, asking the  Azerbaijani authorities for forgiveness for what happened. The fact  that the US ambassador blames the citizens of his country is at least  surprising. And I am sure that our compatriots, citizens of his  country, will answer the ambassador. Moreover, if the ambassador does  not express regret with this groundless assessment (the embassy has  not refuted it yet), then I expect the Armenian Foreign Ministry's  statement on the fact of this biased assessment, "Sargsyan noted.

At the same time, the political scientist considers it appropriate to  call the US Ambassador to Armenia Lynn Tracy to the Armenian Foreign  Ministry to present the essence of the problem and the negative  consequences of such unfounded accusations, especially when the  incident is under investigation by law enforcement agencies.

Recall that on July 21 representatives of the Armenian community of  Los Angeles held a rally at the Consulate General of Azerbaijan in  protest against the latest aggravation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani  border. The peaceful action was held under the slogans "No to  Aliyev", "No to war". The protesters sang and performed Armenian  traditional dances. The clash began after a number of provocations by  the Azerbaijanis, in particular, one of the provocateurs hit an  Armenian girl. There were casualties on both sides, the police  intervened. It is also worth noting that clashes between Armenians  and Azerbaijanis took place both in different cities of the United  States and in different countries around the world.  In connection  with the aggressive behavior of Azerbaijanis, representatives of the  youth wing of the ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" held a protest action in New  York. Protesters came to the action with flags and banners of Armenia  and Karabakh, sang the anthem of Armenia, Armenian folk songs and  performed Armenian dances.
