Some Azeri forces offer to announce Bryza persona non grata
Azeri Muasir Musavat party has decided to hold a protest action at the U.S. Embassy in Baku on August 8.

"We urge to announce OSCE MG U.S. Ch-chair Matthew Bryza persona non grata and to prevent his visit to Azerbaijan, for he questioned the territorial integrity of our country," said Hafiz Hajiyev, leader of Muasir Musavat.

The party has already sent a warning to the U.S. Embassy in Baku. It also requested the city administration to authorize the picket, Day.az reports.

On July 1, Bryza said in Moscow that the people on Nagorno Karabakh will themselves decide whether to return under Azeri control or to be independent. "The residents of Karabakh will make decision through a referendum," Bryza said after the meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers.
