American Azeris have urged the Senate to quickly confirm the new
ambassador to Azerbaijan, the Azeri Press Agency, APA's, Washington
correspondent reported Thursday.
The confirmation of U.S. President Barack Obama nominee Matthew Bryza
for the post of U.S. ambassador to Baku was scheduled for Thursday
morning. The U.S. Azerbaijani Network, USAN, called on its members
to write to senators to encourage them to confirm Matthew Bryza. "We
support the nomination and want to see the post of U.S. Ambassador to
Azerbaijan filled as soon as possible," the letters said, according
to APA.
Bryza has a diplomatic career of over 20 years. He coordinated U.S.
energy policy in the Black and Caspian Sea regions and represented
the United States for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe, or OSCE's, Minsk Group talks on a resolution of Azerbaijan's
22-year conflict with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The post has been vacant since July 2009 when the previous incumbent,
Anne Derse, completed her term.
