NEWS.am had previously reported on certain progress in appointment of OSCE Minsk Group former Co-Chair Matthew Bryza to the post of the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan. According to Turkish media, his main task as an Ambassador will be Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement and Armenian-Azerbaijani border opening. According to the publications, Bryza studies Azerbaijani language and is getting ready for an active but silent normalization process.

Commenting on the rumors, Spokesman of the U.S Embassy in Azerbaijan Terry Davidson said: “At the moment, we are waiting for the appointment of a new U.S. Ambassador. The nominee for Ambassador has not yet been put up in Azerbaijan. According to the regulations, the candidate is firstly put forward by the White House, thereby approved by the Senate.”

U.S. has not appointed Ambassador to Azerbaijan for quite a while.
