Potomac Square Group has an informal agreement to represent Azerbaijan as the end of its dispute with Armenia may be in sight on June 24, when the leaders of the two nations meet in Russia in a effort to resolve the 20-year conflict that resulted in bloodshed during the 1990s.
Earlier this month, the U.S., Russia and France urged both parties to “finalize the basic principles” dealing with the Azerbaijani’s breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is dominated by people of Armenian descent.
Potomac is to contact the media and academic communities on behalf of Azerbaijan and may do limited outreach to the U.S. Government.
That effort is spearheaded by Chris Cooper, a former senior VP at Rasky Baerlein Strategic Communications and staffer at the Wall Street Journal and the Times-Picayune of New Orleans.
Potomac handled a project for Bahrain earlier this year before troops from Saudi Arabia moved in to put down the uprising against King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
