    Washington: HON. BRAD SHERMAN OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF
    REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, July 3, 2014

    Washington

    The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech:

    Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the distinguished
    service of His Excellency Tatoul Markarian, Ambassador Extraordinary
    and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia to the United States of
    America.

    His Excellency Dr. Markarian is completing his term as Ambassador to
    the United States after nine years of service. Dr. Markarian has been
    a crucial figure in fostering relations between Armenia and the United
    States.

    As Armenian Ambassador to the United States, Dr. Markarian has been
    credited with creating closer ties with the United States by
    coordinating visits between the two countries' government officials
    and diplomats. He has been instrumental in securing increased
    humanitarian assistance from the U.S. to both Armenia and Artsakh, two
    struggling economies that are in great need of economic support. This
    has been highlighted by Armenia becoming a competitive potential
    candidate for Millennium Challenge Corporation funding, which aims to
    reduce widespread poverty and strengthen infrastructure. Ambassador
    Markarian has also been largely responsible for coordinating improved
    bilateral talks between both countries, through the U.S.-Armenia
    Economic Task Force and Strategic Dialogue.

    Dr. Markarian has had a long career in public service. He served in
    the Republic of Armenia's legislative and executive branches at a
    crucial time, during the Republic's early years, first as assistant to
    the Vice Chairman of the newly created Armenian parliament, then as an
    advisor to the Vice President of Armenia and Chief of Staff to the
    Prime Minister. During his tenure as Ambassador to the United States
    he concurrently serves as the Ambassador to Mexico.

    I commend his Excellency Dr. Markarian on his service and
    accomplishments. His service has strengthened the relationship between
    Armenia and America. I wish the best for him, his wife, and three sons
    in their future endeavors.
