Concerning the appointment of a new ambassador to Armenia, the
American embassy in Armenia has no information from the White House
or State Department.
Taguhi Jahukyan, press secretary for the American embassy in Yerevan,
relayed this news to a Panorama.am journalist.
"News about the putting forth of a candidate must come from White
House sources. If such information does not exist, word about the
nomination of a candidate doesn't correspond with reality," she said.
Meanwhile, information agencies have reported the existence of a new
candidate for ambassador to Armenia. But, nothing has been said about
who that might be. Richard Hoagland, whom President Bush suggested
for the position, was turned down twice in the Senate, thanks to the
efforts of representative Robert Menendez. The former ambassador,
John Evans, was recalled from his position for making statements
about the Armenian Genocide.
