| Mark Libby, the new American ambassador to Azerbaijan, arrived in Baku at the same time as the relations between the two countries worsened. |
According to Webangah News quoted by Tasnim News agency, Mark Libby is the new US ambassador to The Republic of Azerbaijan arrived in Baku on Saturday evening (December 2).
The arrival of the new American ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan coincided with the worsening of relations between the two countries.
US Assistant Secretary of State O’Brien said at the hearing of the US Congress on November 15 that Washington will suspend its relations with Baku until the signing of the peace agreement between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia.
In response, Baku accused the United States of acting against Azerbaijan through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other aid organizations.
Baku even canceled the traditional “Alumni Meeting” ceremony. “Azerbaijani of American universities” which is organized every year by the American Embassy, called it an educational event for “American spies”.
nominated for the post of US ambassador to Azerbaijan.
His nomination process ended at the end of the year, and on January 3, 2023, Mark Libby’s nomination papers were returned to Joe Biden. Biden renominated Libby later that day. His nomination hearings were held on June 13, 2023 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. On July 13, 2023, the committee gave a positive opinion on his candidacy. Mark Libby’s nomination was fully confirmed by the United States Senate on November 8, 2023. In this way, the American ambassador to Azerbaijan, whose position has been vacant for a year, starts working.
In general, the appointment of the American ambassador to Azerbaijan is traditionally a very complicated process. It becomes difficult and complicated. Because the Armenian lobby in America gives special importance to the fact that the ambassador sent to Azerbaijan is pro-Armenian. In Azerbaijan, he came to Baku. In 2007, she married Zino Baran, a famous American researcher on the South Caucasus region, originally from Turkey. This also discouraged the Armenian lobby. As a result, he could only work as an ambassador for one year. Armenia’s lobby did not allow Matthew Bryce to work in Baku. Mark Libby is someone who has always been away from the Armenian lobby. Therefore, the Armenian lobby did not like his candidacy.
After the ambassador’s candidacy, as a result of the activities of the Armenian lobby, defamatory propaganda against him was spread.
He was even accused of sexual assault. A woman by the name of Amy Dam has been contacting various authorities in the United States about Mark Libby for a long time. But these requests were of no avail. That is, the American authorities considered such accusations unfounded.
Amy Damm writes about Mark Libby: “Twelve years later, when I heard the news last summer that my former boss, Mark Libby, had Soi White House has been nominated for the embassy of Azerbaijan, my whole body started shaking. I was sexually assaulted by him. The rape took place in special secret places where there were no cameras or audio recorders.”
What is a “private secret place”? Its short name in English is SCIF. Derived from the initials of the words Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. It is a secure place where sensitive information can be viewed by government officials.
It is in the form of a compact cabinet. Most of the top secret documents are reviewed there. The goal is to keep such classified documents away from prying eyes. Amy Dame claims that Mark Libby used such offices to have romantic relationships at work. Are such charges? Is the fate of Matthew Breeze waiting for Mark Libby? Will Armenians allow Mark Libby to work in Baku? Time will answer these questions.
