Former US envoy Bryza to get high government post – paper
Former US ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza is to be appointed to a high State Department post soon, Armenian newspaper Haykakan Zhamanak reported.
Bryza is expected to work in the office of Philip Gordon, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, the report claimed.
Former US Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch, who presently serves as US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, has reportedly pledged full support for Bryza’s new appointment.
Bryza, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary, was appointed by President Barack Obama as ambassador to Azerbaijan bypass the Senate on December 29, 2010. Under US laws, Bryza’s so-called recess appointment was temporary, lasting only one year. In late December he ended his mission in Azerbaijan after his final approval in the Senate was blocked by several pro-Armenian senators claiming his pro-Azerbaijani bias.
