U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold nomination Hearings on U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan and Armenia nominees on September 17.

Earlier President Obama nominated Richard M. Mills, Jr. as his pick to become the U.S. Ambassador to Armenia and Robert Cekuta to become the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan.

“The Senate confirmation process for U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan nominee Robert Cekuta represents an urgently needed opportunity for Congressional oversight of the U.S. relationship with an Azerbaijani government that is rapidly escalating toward war and increasingly cracking down on domestic dissent,” said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.

“We look forward to close scrutiny of the Azerbaijan nomination and welcome the opportunity for Ambassador-designate Richard Mills to outline for the Committee his plans to help mark the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and, more broadly, to deepen and strengthen the U.S.-Armenia relationship.”

The ANCA has circulated an Action Alert urging friends of Armenia across the U.S. to contact their Senators and urge close scrutiny of the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan nominee.
