It is expected that Flick and his wife will travel to Ankara later today, and Flick has been appointed to succeed his country’s ambassador to Ankara, David Satterfield.

Flick served as a senator from Arizona from 2013-2019, and was a member of the House of Representatives from 2001-2013.

Flick retired from the Senate in 2019 under the pretext of his reservations about the administration of former President Donald Trump and the politics of the Republican Party, and he also published a book entitled Conscience of a Conservative criticizing Trump.
