WASHINGTON. - U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza's further
office terms may be put into question. Azerbaijani Turan agency spoke
on the confirmation of Bryza in the office by the Senate. The more the
discussion of the issue approaches at the Senate, the more Armenian
organizations are getting active to prevent Bryza's confirmation by
the Senate.
U.S. Senate rejected the four Ambassador-nominees by the President
Barack Obama last year. As a result, Obama appointed Ambassadors by
his order. However, those appointments are of temporary character
and must be anyway confirmed by the Senate a year later.
The issue of the three Ambassadors out of four is in Senate, approved,
while Bryza's confirmation is still pending. The reason is that
Senator Robert Menendez did not take off his veto and just for this
reason Bryza's nomination was not confirmed in the Senate last year.
Obama's administration is interested in appointing Bryza as
an Ambassador to Azerbaijan. However, the Administration cannot
interfere in the Senate's business. Conformation of the Ambassadors
and organizing hearings is only within the jurisdiction of the Senate.
According to the experts, if the issue on confirming Bryza's nomination
is not in the Senate till late December, then, his activity as an
Ambassador will be too hard to continue, Radio Liberty reports,
quoting the Azerbaijani agency.
