    USE SENATE TO CONSIDER CANDIDACY FOR US AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA

    ARKA News Agency, Armenia
    June 22 2006

    YEREVAN, June 21. /ARKA/. On June 28, 2006, the Foreign Relations
    Committee, US Senate, is to consider the candidacy of Richard Hoagland
    for the post of US Ambassador to Armenia.

    Armenian National Committee Of America reports that the Armenian
    community is closely following the hearings and possible scenarios
    may clarify the US Department of State's policy toward the issue of
    the Armenian Genocide.

    US-based Armenians believe that the reason for US Ambassador to
    Armenia John Evan's recall is the fact that during his speeches in
    2004-2005 he qualified the Armenian pogroms in Ottoman Empire in 1915
    as Genocide. In his further comments he pointed out that it was his
    personal viewpoint, but not the USA's official position.

    Since October 16, 2003, Richard Hoagland has been US Ambassador to
    Tajikistan.
