"Vasif Talybov kept American diplomat hungry and disgraced the famous Caucasian hospitality," the Azerbaijani portal "Minval" reads.

As the portal reports citing "Musavat.com" lawyer Derek Hogan who is temporarily authorized in affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan faced a shocking incident during a visit to Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. Note that Vassif Talybov is the head of this autonomy.

The delegation headed by Derek Hogan had arrived a few days ago, in order to find out the pre-election atmosphere in Nakhichevan. He met with several representatives of local organizations, including - representatives of the opposition party "Musavat" and Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan. Despite the fact that in the framework of the visit meeting with members of the ruling party "Yeni Azerbaijan" was scheduled, the latter didn’t come to the meeting.

After the meeting with the local activists Derek Hogan and his entourage wanted to have lunch and went to restaurant, "Soyudlu" where the dinner was reserved beforehand since the morning and was agreed with the administration of the restaurant. U.S. Embassy representatives were shocked when they received a refusal and were told that there was no food. At the same time, other visitors of the restaurant were eating and drinking.

Local activists accompanying the U.S. delegation ordered tea for face-saving. But in response to the request received a sacramental phrase: "We have no gas, no water, and even if we had all of this there would be no waiter here who would serve you."
"Thus, the embassy representatives and persons accompanying them left Nakhichevan, not having had dinner," the article reads.
