Matthew Bryza should be re-nominated by the U.S. President Barack
Obama as ambassador to Azerbaijan so that the Senate was able to
again consider his candidacy, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg said in his
response to the question of Pax Turcica (Research Center, established
by Azerbaijani and Turkish Diasporas).
"I view my constitutional responsibility to both advise and consent
regarding the President's nominations as one of my most important
duties. I evaluate each presidential nominee to ensure he or she has
the experience and intellectual capacity for the position and will
responsibly fulfill their duties," Lautenberg said in his response
to the question regarding Bryza, Azerbaijani-American Council said.
U.S. President Barack Obama appointed a career diplomat, former U.S.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Matthew Bryza as ambassador to Azerbaijan
bypass the Senate on Dec.29, 2010, which a few months blocked his
nomination under pressure of pro-Armenian senators Barbara Boxer and
Robert Menendez.
In late December Bryza ended his mission in Azerbaijan and left for
the U.S.
