06/14 - Rep. Bridenstine offered amendment to Defense Authorization bill that passed calling for the US to study value of Caspian energy for European energy independence.

05/29/14 - Statement submitted for the Congressional Record on Azerbaijan Republic Day - Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 96th anniversary of Republic Day in Azerbaijan. Yesterday, in 1918, Azerbaijan received its independence from the Russian Empire and officially declared the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR).

At the time of its independence, the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was the first-ever modern parliamentary republic in the Muslim world and was an early adopter of full political rights for women. The Azerbaijan parliament granted women the right to vote shortly after its nation's founding, preceding even the United States in granting such a right to men and women equally.

Unfortunately, the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic's initial independence was short lived, as the Soviet Union invaded the country in 1920. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Azerbaijan regained full independence and reestablished the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.

For the last 23 years, Azerbaijan has been a reliable strategic ally of the United States in an often-hostile region of the world. Azerbaijan has been a partner with the U.S. on economic, trade and military issues, even supporting U.S. and NATO operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In my state of Oklahoma, our National Guard has established a strategic relationship with Azerbaijan through the National Guard State Partnership Program (SPP). This program connects state and territorial National Guards to military and civilian personnel in 70 partner nations and I am proud of the relationship between the Oklahoma National Guard and our friend, Azerbaijan .

I congratulate the people of Azerbaijan on this important anniversary and thank them for their continued support and partnership.

06/13 - Attended pro-Azerbaijan conference in Baku where former Obama aids attended. Interestingly, the office of Rep.

05/28-29, 2013 - Member attended the mega conference in Baku that got critical press, because it was an obvious influence peddling junket in POLITICO and the Washington Post.
