Armenians continue showing resentment over nomination of Bryza’s candidate for position of US envoy in Azerbaijan, attributing new 'mistakes' to him.
This time it was the publisher and editor of the Californian courier Arut Sasunyan who made a resented speech. In his article he again quotes the ANCA statement, in which the committee of American Armenians urge the Senate to pay attention to some 'dubious' moments in the US diplomat’s biography.
Though Matthew Bryza refuted almost all accusing statements during the hearing in the Senate, Sasunyan is not satisfied with such a state of affairs.
Now the diplomat is accused of “having buried” all Armenian patriarch sclerosis-patient Mesrop in his speech.
'Bryza said with pride that for his wedding he invited people whom he met during his activity including state officials, diplomats, heads of public and religious organizations from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus and Greece. Among guests, he mentioned 'late Armenian patriarch Mesrop. The Armenian patriarch is alive though suffers from sclerosis', Sasunyan said with regret.
He is surprised at the fact that Bryza who invited Mesrop for the wedding party did not show any interest in his health.
Has Sasunyan himself showed any interest in the health of all those who were present at his wedding?
Nonetheless, it should be noted that the campaign of the US Armenians to 'blacken' Bryza’s image for which several millions of dollars were spent has failed. Bryza has responded to all accusations, President Obama has not rejected his position, while the Senate acts under the procedures without paying attention to the "weeping" of the Armenian lobby.
It is also noteworthy that despite failing in black PR, Sasunyans and other ANCA members are trying to change the situation and present Bryza’s appointment as an unsuccessful adventure and an obstacle in improvement of relations between the United States and Azerbaijan.
'Bryza is a rudiment of Bush’s administration with an arguable past. He is rather an obstacle for Obama and the United States. Bryza has been in Washington for long months hinting that he will soon become the ambassador in Azerbaijan. A year has passed since he was nominated, which means serious problems including those related to Bryza’s role in the Russian-Georgia war, Azerbaijan’s protests in connection with his support to the Armenian-Turkish process, accusations of abuse of powers at his wife’s office, as well as wedding costs. Considering all these circumstances, Bryza’s candidacy cannot be nominated for the ambassador', Sasunyan said probably considering that the black PR campaign must continue.
Well, let’s wait for the new statement of the congress of American Armenians in which this time the minuses of Bryza’s appointment for position of ambassador in Baku will be “analyzed” through the prism of US and Azerbaijani geopolitical interests.
Well, this time we will not be surprised if anyone who states Azerbaijan’s importance as the US ally will be accused of betrayal in terms of geopolitical interests.
We have already faced these statements by Armenians on the example of George Friedman, who was accused of all sins for his article.
