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.
