Yerevan/Mediamax/. Appointment of Joint Ambassadors is an unprecedented
case in Armenian diplomatic practice.
"The husband and wife team is appointed in the post of Ambassador
to Armenia for the first time", Mediamax was told in the Armenian
Foreign Ministry.
According to the press release disseminated by the British Embassy
the day before, Mr. Jonathan James Aves and Ms. Katherine Jane Leach,
a husband and wife team, were appointed Her Majesty's Joint Ambassadors
to the Republic of Armenia and they will take up their appointment
in January 2012.
Foreign Office employs such practice, and this is not the first case
when a diplomatic mission is carried out by a husband and wife team,
Mediamax was told in the British Embassy.
For the first time, the British Foreign Office appointed the husband
and wife team in the post of Joint Ambassadors to Zambia in 2008. The
couple had worked in the position of Vice -Ambassador in Bratislava
before. At that, their work was carried out in 4- month rotation
system, the same system due to be realized in Armenia. The practice
is used by the Foreign Office in appointing high-ranking positions
as well.
"Appointment of Joint Ambassadors will contribute to the development
of Armenian-British relations.
Mr. Jonathan James Aves and Ms. Katherine Jane Leach have a great
desire to make their own contribution to this process", Mediamax was
informed in the British Embassy.
