Representative of U.S. in OSCE Minsk Group engaged in imitation, Baku believe
"No matter to what degree we urge co-chairs of the U.S. change country's position as an outside observer, nothing will change. It is all the same whether Matthew Bryza or Tina Kaidanow will be co-chair. We need the state's position. There is no need to rely on the personality of the co-chairs," Azerbaijani political expert Vafa Guluzade said to Day.Az commenting on reports claiming that Matthew Bryza will be replaced by Tina Kaidanow as OSCE Minsk Group U.S. co-chair.

"We have often been and are unfair towards Matthew Bryza while the whole policy is based on the country's leadership. Indeed, the U.S. leadership is not involved with the problem of Nagorno Karabakh. Therefore, the U.S. representative in the OSCE Minsk Group is engaged in imitation. Everyone does it within his ability," he said.

Tina Kaidanow was appointed in 2008 U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo. Earlier she served as U.S. special representative in Pristina (the capital of Kosovo).
