Political scientist: If negotiation process does not prove effective and the Prague round fails by autumn, the rotation of OSCE MG co-chairs will take place

"Matt Bryza is taking part in the negotiation process within the OSCE Minsk Group. Probably, unless there is a hope for promotion of the Nagorno Karabakh process within the summer, he will stay on his post", said Musabeyov.

"But if by the end of the summer the negotiation process proves ineffective and the Prague round fails, the rotation of the OSCE MG co-chairs will take place and Bryza will be offerred to become the US ambassador. I find it difficult to say whether he will be appointed to Azerbaijan or in other country, but I think he is likely to be appointed to Azerbaijan", said he.

"Matthew Bryza knows the region well and there will be nothing surprizing if he is appointed the US ambassador to Azerbaijan and no adaptation will be needed", concluded the political scientist.

Earlier it was reported that the US co-chair of the Minsk Group Matthew Bryza has been recommended for the post of the US ambassador to Azerbaijan.

According to the Foreign Policy magazine, Matt Bryza was recommended by his former director, former asssitant Secretary of State Daniel Fried.

Notably, the White House has not yet declared a candidate for position of the US ambassador to Azerbaijan.

It should be reminded that on June 4 US president Barack Obama appointed Anne Derse as the US ambassador to Lithuania. The new candidacy must be approved by the US senate. It is now unclear who will be the US ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary. Derse will leave Baku in summer. Derse has been on the position of the US ambassador to Azerbaijan since May, 2006.
