Baku. Habil Suleymanzadeh - APA. The Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA) has again started a campaign against the adoption of
U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza to his post.
APA reports quoting ANCA's website that the committee urged the
activists of local Armenian communities to organize mass electronic
calls to U.S. senators to oppose the nomination of Bryza. The Armenian
committee justified this with the fact that Bryza is allegedly close
to Azerbaijan and protects the interests of energy giants.
Matthew Bryza was appointed to the post of ambassador by President
Obama. At this time, as the pro-Armenian congressmen opposed this
nomination, the confirmation Bryza's candidacy in the Senate did
not take place. Then, Barack Obama, using his authority, appointed
Bryza to the post of ambassador to Azerbaijan. But according to
current procedure, a confirmation of the appointment in the Senate
is necessary. If the Senate does not approve Bryza to this post,
he will stop his activity and come back.
The Senate also considers the John Heffern's candidacy to the post
of US ambassador to Armenia. At the first stage of hearings, the
pro-Armenian senators angered for Heffern's refusal to characterize
the 1915 incidents as genocide, and declared that they would try to
prevent his appointment.
