    August 11, 2009 Matthew Bryza declared in Tbilisi, that U.S. diplomat
    Tina S. Kaidanow, will assume Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for
    European and Eurasian Affairs post. Under the preliminary data, Matthew
    Bryza is appointed to the position of U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan.

    Bryza paid his last visit to Georgia August 10 as a of Deputy Assistant
    Secretary of State within the framework of his visit to South Caucasus,
    where he has recently been a crucial figure of U.S. Secretary State,
    Kavkaz Press reports.

    Bryza asserted that he is a more frequent guest to Georgia than any
    U.S. official. He often was criticized by Georgian opposition for his
    support to President Saakashvili, as opposition interprets. "I found
    it simply ridiculous to read, to hear some of the things some of my
    colleagues in more radical side of Georgia's opposition were saying
    about me supposedly supporting only one person in this country,"
    Bryza said at the August 10 press conference.

    Referring to the August war Bryza stated: "Those people, who may have
    had dark goals to undermine Georgia, failed," and the best way out
    for Georgia is to continue economic and democratic reforms, adding:
    "life will be normal and fully healthy here once institutions, like
    Parliament, play a stronger role; once judicial reform has advanced;
    once electoral reforms are in place and once we see stronger and more
    independent media."

    He underlined that U.S. would support Georgia and the partnership would
    become stronger, as "Georgia is on this path of expanding political
    and economic freedom through serious reforms.""It needs to be worked
    on now to rejuvenate these reforms," Bryza concluded.

    Bryza's successor Tina S. Kaidanow has worked for U.S. diplomatic
    mission in Kosovo for two years and as Deputy Chief of U.S. mission
    in Sarajevo for three years.
