Armenian Diaspora in the US continues attacks on US diplomat Matthew Bryza who was nominated by US President Obama for post of US envoy in Azerbaijan.
In addition, the website offers everyone to join the campaign of protest. For this purpose a user will have to fill in the form and send it to his senator by fax or e-mail. To substantiate its point, the committee indicates 2 important aspects, as they say, including the clash of interests and Bryza’s inability to meet the national priorities of the US foreign policy.
When speaking about the conflict of interests, the committee accentuate on Bryza’s spouse-Turkish in origin Zeyno Baran. To conceal their hatred in the issue of Baran’s origin, the Armenian committee accentuates on the employer of the diplomat’s wife-Hudson Institute.
ANCA says under publicly available information Hudson Institue received support from such energy companies as ExxonMobile and American Gas Foundation (Nothing seditious here-ed.)
But the fantasy of the Armenian diaspora has no limits and in this connection ANCA has appeared to Hudson Institute about whether this organization received funds from Azerbaijani or Turkish sources. The absence of any answer to the question has automatically raised doubts regarding Bryza and Obama’s decision (isn’t it absurd-ed.).
Then the Armenian committee also provides information about the conference organized by Hudson Institute and entitled "Azerbaijan-Turkey-US relations and their role for Eurasia". The words Turkey and Azerbaijan create not only allergy but also raise doubts of almost a "mason" plot with Bryza.
Not stopping in their groundless accusations, Armenians also recall the rumors regarding the personal life of Bryza and his spouse, presenting unfounded information about so-called financing of diplomat’s wedding.

As we see, argument on so-called "conflict of interests" is based only on the sick imagination of some US Armenians and rumors also spread by unhealthy persons.
Then, they also present the so-called arguments that allegedly confirm Bryza’s incompetence as a diplomat. ANCA is trying to shift the blame for all failures of US foreign policy in the region on Bryza. Thus, they accuse him of failure to avert the armed conflict between Georgia and Russia though he was personally acquainted with President Saakashvili (?!-ed.).
He is also accused of having stated about the prevailing of the principle of territorial integrity over the right for self-determination.
However, here the ANCA leaders are also ignorant in the issues of international law like the officials of Armenia, in particular, Shavarsh Kocharyan for whom 1news.az has held a brief literacy campaign on issues of international law that touched upon this issue too.
Then the Armenian Congress accuses Bryza of saying that it was Armenia which occupied Azerbaijani lands. It is unclear what is wrong in Bryza’s statement if this thesis was confirmed by the resolutions of the UN Security Council and General Assembly and other international organizations. ANCA’s dumbness is astonishing.
However, the list of Bryza’s "crimes" does not end with this. He is also accused of “forcing” Armenia to normalizing ties with Turkey, dismissal of the US ambassador in Yerevan, pressure on Armenia to force it to make concessions in the Karabakh issue and even reducing assistance to Karabakh separatists by US.
It is surprising that some diaspora Armenians hampering any initiative on normalization of relations between the South Caucasus countries can be so unconstructive and primitive. But another astonishing fact is that their hatred to Turks and everything related to Turks can lead them so far… at the same time, the diaspora is not ashamed of shifting to personal life of the US diplomats.
We have repeatedly written that the diaspora is among the elements that hamper normalization of relations between independent Armenia and its neighbors and its overall development.
This example is demonstrative in this sense-the diaspora continues causing harm to the Armenian state for the sake of its interests and to harm national interests of the young Armenian state which is on the verge of institutional collapse.
