Dec. 24--The Azerbaijani Parliament called on the U.S. Senate to
approve the nomination of new ambassador to Azerbaijan.
"We stand for that the Senate approved the nomination of new
ambassador to Azerbaijan," Parliamentary Vice Speaker Bahar Muradova
told journalists on Friday.
She said although the delay in appointing the head of the American
diplomatic mission is a negative factor, it will not have a severe
impact on the relations between the two countries.
The post of U.S. Ambassador in Baku has been vacant since the previous
ambassador, Anne Derse, left it due to completion of her diplomatic
mission, in July 2009.
President Barack Obama nominated Matthew Bryza, who served as U.S.
co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as
ambassador to Azerbaijan.
