Yerevan/Mediamax/. At the farewell press conference today, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern told journalists that he will not turn down the proposal to be appointed U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan if he receives it.
“I see no problems with regard to my being appointed U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan and will welcome such an opportunity”, he said.
The Ambassador noted it will be a challenge for him to get acquainted with Azerbaijan’s stance on NK conflict considering he already knows Armenia’s position on it.
“Unfortunately I got no chance to visit Baku during my work in Armenia, while, for example, U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar paid a visit to Armenia, and we had useful meetings with the Armenian President and the Foreign Minister. Morningstar invited me to Baku, however, I did not manage to visit”, said Heffern.
The U.S. Ambassador also noted that once he returns to the U.S. he will work with Azerbaijan and will get to work at the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs at U.S. Department of State.
