  • Ankara: Senator: Matthew Bryza Should Be Re-Nominated As Ambassador

    SENATOR: MATTHEW BRYZA SHOULD BE RE-NOMINATED AS AMBASSADOR TO AZERBAIJAN

    Journal of Turkish Weekly
    Jan 11 2012

    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.
