The Democratic senator from New Jersey was honored last weekend as
"Man of the Year" by the Armenian National Committee of America at
a dinner in Los Angeles.
The honor comes after Menendez put a "hold" on Senate consideration
of the Bush administration's nominee to be ambassador to Armenia
last year. Under questioning from Menendez at a committee hearing,
the nominee, Richard Hoagland, would not say whether Armenians had
been the targets of genocide early in the 20th century. Bush withdrew
Hoagland's nomination in August.
