US Senate to vote on Matthew Bryza nomination: ANCA calls on Senators to oppose
On Tuesday, September 21, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to vote on Matthew Bryza, President Obama's controversial nominee to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan.
Senator Barbara Boxer, last month, requested a delay in the Committee vote in order to provide Senators with a meaningful opportunity, during the August recess, to examine Mr. Bryza's diplomatic record, conflict of interest issues, and his written responses to Senate inquiries.
ANCA urged the Armenians to call Senators and ask them to oppose Bryza “flawed nomination”. “Matt Bryza's troubling diplomatic track record, his potential conflict of interest issues, and his recent testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee clearly establish that he is not the right person to advance U.S. interests and America values as Ambassador to Azerbaijan,” ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian said in a statement.
