Matthew Bryza expects breakthrough in Nagorno-Karabakh talks
Matthew Bryza, the former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan and former
co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, expects a breakthrough in the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said at a special
meeting marking the 20th anniversary of diplomatic ties with
Azerbaijan.
The US diplomat said that he misses Azerbaijan and is glad to visit it
again and spend the Easter vacation there. He noted that President
Barack Obama will appoint the new ambassador.
Obama appointed US Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza as the
Ambassador to Azerbaijan on December 29th 2010, bypassing the Senate’s
disapproval of the diplomat under pressure from Senators Barbara Boxer
and Robert Menendez.
The Senate refused to approve Bryza in late December, so the official
concluded his mission in Azerbaijan and returned home. Bryza is
currently the Director of the International Center for Defense Studies
of Estonia.
