Azerbaijan's ruling party comments on appointment of Matthew Bryza

“The appointment of Matthew Bryza as ambassador to Azerbaijan is a step taken to improve the relations between Azerbaijan and the US,” executive secretary of New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), MP Ali Ahmadov told journalists.

According to Ali Ahmadov, Azerbaijan expects the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, including the US, to solve Nagorno Karabakh conflict fairly. He said the United States can make a positive influence on the process.

“The US is one of the co-chairs of the Minsk Group. There is no result in the activity of the Minsk Group that will satisfy us. The conflict has not been solved. Of course, its responsibility also falls on the US, one of the co-chairing countries,” YAP executive secretary underlined.

Ali Ahmadov noted that this is the main expectation of Azerbaijan from the new ambassador. The parliamentarian hopes that Bryza will do his best for the US to play a significant role in the solution of the conflict.

As regards the influence of the Armenian lobby to impede the appointment of ambassador to Azerbaijan, the parliamentarian said this is the affair between America and the Armenian lobby.

“America is a strong state. If Armenian lobby influences this state, this is not a good sign,” he said.
