Baku. 23 September. REPORT.AZ/ US President Coordinator for international efforts against ISIS, General John Allen resigns, Report informs referring to Bloomberg. 

Retired General has been serving as the White House's special envoy to the global coalition fighting against ISIS in Syria and Iraq since September 11, 2014. Although he officially retired from the military April 29, 2013, Obama hand-selected Allen for the role amid a ramped-up effort to take on the group.
