US Senate still considering Bryza’s nomination as Ambassador to Azerbaijan

10:47 – 13.12.11

The US Senate is still considering Matthew Bryza’s nomination as
ambassador to Azerbaijan, according to a Department of State official.

Mark Toner, a spokesperson for the Department, has said in his daily
press briefing that they haven’t yet given up the idea of nominating
the diplomat.

In December 2010, US President Barrack Obama appointed Bryza as
ambassador for one year. The decision was made without the Senate’s
approval, so the final confirmation was blocked. If the Senate does
not approve Bryza’s nomination this time, the Ambassador will be
called back from Baku.
