Washington. Isabel Levine - APA. The Azerbaijani-Americans have
started an immediate campaign by sending dozens of letters to the
Senate members for one last push in the approval of US Ambassador
nominee Matthew Bryza, APA was told by the Diaspora members.
"Finally, after one year and a half of vacancy, the position of a US
Ambassador to Azerbaijan, has been filled by President Obama's recess
appointment last year. Having an active interest in everything related
to South Caucasus and Caspian Basin regions, it is very important for
us to have an Ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan, one of our
very few strategic ally nations in that critically important region.
Unfortunately, his recess appointment is nearing its end, and his
confirmation is still blocked by Sen. Menendez and Boxer", read
the letters.
According to the authors, Armenian lobby groups try to derail the
nomination of Mr. Bryza by pressuring the senators to ask irrelevant,
inappropriate, and simply wrong questions from Mr. Bryza that deal
with ancient history, instead of trying to be productive and help
build a great future.
The Diaspora members ask to the senators to ensure that the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and the full Senate confirm Matthew Bryza
to continue to serve as US Ambassador to Azerbaijan.
The campaign was held by the US Azerbaijani Network.
