"I miss Azerbaijan very much"
Tbilisi. Nizami Mammadzadeh - APA. "Azerbaijan is a dear country
for me. I miss Azerbaijan very much", said former US ambassador to
Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza, APA bureau in Georgia reports. "I send my
best wishes to Azerbaijani people on the occasion of Novruz Holiday. I
love all of you. We saddened while leaving Azerbaijan".
Bryza said he and his wife are living in Istanbul and he is working
in different business fields.
The former ambassador spoke about his failure to be nominated again
for the ambassador. "This is politics and is unavoidable in America
because of democracy. I was not surprised. All of these reflect the
freedom of speech. One organization was against me because my wife was
born in Istanbul, Turkey. President Obama appointed me to the post
of ambassador to Azerbaijan for a year despite the pressure by the
Senate members. I am grateful to him. This year was very interesting
and meaningful for me. My family liked Azerbaijan. I did much work
for Armenia too. But some people were displeased that my wife is
from Turkey and therefore some groups in the United States prevented
my appointment".
