The ambassador expressed his dismay and concern over the incident through a post on his official Twitter account.
Ambassador Auld recounted his meeting with Fazil Mustafa a few months prior, emphasizing the shock and sadness he felt upon hearing about the violent assault on the deputy.
The ambassador strongly condemned the attack and offered his well-wishes for a swift recovery.
The motivation behind the attack on Deputy Mustafa remains unclear, and local authorities are currently investigating the incident. The political community, both in Azerbaijan and abroad, have expressed solidarity with Mustafa and his family during this difficult time.
This event has prompted discussions on the importance of ensuring the safety and security of public officials, as well as addressing the growing concern of politically motivated violence.
Azerbaijani authorities have been urged to take appropriate measures to prevent similar incidents and bring the perpetrators to justice.
As Deputy Fazil Mustafa recovers from the attack, the local and international community supports his well-being and the pursuit of justice.
It is hoped that the strong condemnation from figures like Ambassador Auld will send a clear message against politically motivated violence.
