Armenian Americans community representatives sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, expressing their concern about OSCE MG CO-Chair Matthew Bryza’s behavior.
Ken Hachikian, the Chairman of Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) sent a 4-page letter to Hillary Clinton, presenting Armenian community’s concern regarding “counter-productive statements by the U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Matthew Bryza”.
According to Hachikian, Bryza has repeatedly made “unfair and inaccurate” statements. “Today, seven months after the start of the Obama-Biden Administration, we are seriously concerned that this Administration has abdicated its responsibilities by effectively outsourcing our nation's foreign policy with respect to Armenian issues to the Republic of Turkey, as every single policy dealing with Armenia has been made along the lines that Turkey has dictated, rather than along the sound principles of morality and democracy that you, President Obama and Vice President Biden unambiguously articulated during your presidential campaigns last year,” the letter reads.
Hachikian also underlined Bryza’s “pro-Azerbaijani bias.” "In his remarks in Tsakhkadzor, Mr. Bryza, once again, made a number of statements that directly contradict the President's pledge to work toward a ‘lasting and durable settlement Nagorno Karabagh conflict that is agreeable to all parties, and based upon America's founding commitment to the principles of democracy and self determination,’ Hachikian said, adding that “In his remarks, Mr. Bryza compounded his biased defense of these flawed principles by falsely claiming that the Azerbaijani side has made a ‘concession’ by agreeing to merely discuss the matter of Nagorno Karabagh's self-determination.”
