    ArmInfo. The Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) considers the
    appointment of US ambassador to Armenia to be extremely important,
    Director of the AAA Office in Yerevan Arpi Vardanyan told ArmInfo
    correspondent, commenting upon the nomination of US ambassador by
    George Bush and possible developments in further approvement of the
    nominee by the Senate.

    She noted that the close bilateral contacts between Armenia and the
    Unites States depend on maintenance of the contacts and holding of
    consultations at the highest diplomatic level. "Armenia and the USA
    share important regional tasks in the sphere of security, economy and
    politics. Promotion of these relations is impossible due to the lack
    of US ambassador to Armenia", she stressed. She added that George
    Bush presented a nominee for the position of the US ambassador to
    Armenia. "We expect Marie Yovanovitch to exert every type of effort
    to consolidate the important relations between Armenia and the USA
    if her nominee is approved by the Senate", she said.

    According to the procedure of appointment of the US ambassador, after
    the official nomination by the White House, Marie Yovanovitch's nominee
    is to be approved at the hearings at the United States Senate Committee
    on Foreign Relations. During the hearings senators will have a chance
    to ask questions to Ambassador Yovanovitch. If the Committee approves
    her nominee, the hearings will continue at the Senate. At the moment,
    the exact date of the hearings at the Committee is not known.

    To note, earlier President George Bush nominated Richard Hoagland's
    candidacy to the post of US ambassador to Armenia. But his candidacy
    was twice declined by the Senate. In his speeches Hogland cast doubt
    about expediency of the Armenian genocide recognition. For this reason
    the influential Armenian lobby in the USA and the great majority
    of the Armenian society considered Hoagland's candidacy to the post
    inadmissible. At present Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch occupies the
    post of US ambassador to Kyrgyzstan.
