US Embassy: Ambassador Cekuta expected to continue as Ambassador in Azerbaijan

Baku. 7 January. REPORT.AZ/ "American ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States whose personal representatives they are. As a long-serving member of the U.S. Senior Foreign Service, Ambassador Cekuta is expected to continue as Ambassador here", Report was told in the US Embassy to Azerbaijan press-service.
