    Washington: SPEECH OF HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR. OF NEW JERSEY IN THE
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THURSDAY, JULY 3, 2014

    Washington

    The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech:

    Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank Ambassador
    Tatoul Markarian for his service as the Ambassador of the Republic of
    Armenia to the United States.

    A distinguished diplomat, the Ambassador has a long career in public
    service, having represented the people of Armenia both at home and
    around the world. Prior to his current position, he served as the
    Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Special Representative of the
    President of Armenia for Nagorno Karabakh negotiations and as
    Ambassador to the Mexican States. Additionally, he served previously
    from 1994-1999 as the Deputy Chief of Mission for the Armenian Embassy
    in Washington.

    Before entering the Armenian Foreign Service, Ambassador Markarian
    served in the newly-independent Armenia's legislative and executive
    branches.

    I am proud of the work we have been able to accomplish together while
    Ambassador Markarian has been stationed in Washington for the last
    nine years. Together, we have fought together for Congressional
    Recognition of the Armenian Genocide, and foreign aid assistance to
    both the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Armenia. As the founder and
    Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, I have had
    the honor of working closely on these issues for more than twenty
    years.

    Today, the U.S.-Armenian relationship remains critically important.
    Armenia has been a crucial ally in a strategic region of the world by
    extending robust support for the U.S.-led peacekeeping deployments in
    Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kosovo. Additionally, they have cooperated with
    the United States on a broad range of regional and security
    challenges. This relationship has been stewarded and advanced by
    Ambassador Markarian during his time in Washington.

    Ambassador Markarian has dedicated his life's work to our shared goals
    and the people of Armenia. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to
    him for his service here in the United States and offer both him and
    his family the best of luck as they move forward on to their next
    diplomatic posting.
