US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mark Libby has resigned from the diplomatic service due to health, the US Embassy in Azerbaijan revealed, Report informs.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from US diplomatic service. The health concerns I noted in my testimony before the US Senate in 2023 have, unfortunately, persisted. Since coming to Baku, I have benefitted from excellent medical attention, including from the diagnostic radiology team at ‘Mərkəzi Klinika’, to whom I am especially grateful. But recent test results indicate that it is time for me to return home to focus fully on my health. So I will retire shortly after we finish out this exceptionally busy – but exceptionally successful – 2024 calendar year. I intend to use my remaining few weeks in Azerbaijan to set the stage for a successful 2025 and to promote cancer awareness.
