Azerbaijani Diaspora is planning to launch a campaign in favor of
Matthew Bryza’s candidature as US ambassador to Azerbaijan, according
to Azerbaijani news agency APA.
“The Armenian Diaspora has been doing everything possible to oppose
Matthew Bryza’s candidature as Ambassador to Azerbaijan. They have
been trying to bring issued on the agenda that have nothing to do
with Bryza and specially his work in Baku,” – said Fariz Gasanov,
an Azerbaijani Diaspora activist.
“Right now we are sending letters to the members of the Senate and the
newspapers, regional experts, to explain them that Bryza’s issue is
just another political game for Armenians,” – said Samira Valiyeva,
Azerbaijani Diaspora member.
“Armenians would oppose just any initiative that might do anything
good to Azerbaijan”, – she added.
On August 3 US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee confirmed more than
30 nominations as US ambassadors, while Bryza’s candidacy was not
voted on due to a request by Senator Barbara Boxer.
The voting has been postponed till the end of the Senate summer recess.
