U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs will hold hearings on nominations of ambassadors to Armenia and Azerbaijan on December 4, the Committee's website reported.

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.

On September 17 the Committee held hearings during which the nominees presented their positions on different issues, including the Karabakh conflict.
