    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS: US embassy in Yerevan has confirmed
    today presence of at least one Armenian citizen in the hurricane
    stricken New Orleans. It said a physician, Ruben Jamalain, 35, was
    in New Orleans Superdome in the aftermath of Katrina hurricane and
    was seen providing medical assistance to thousands of stranded people
    who were not able to leave the town.

    The embassy said specialists from US Department of State Crisis
    Management Center were trying to get in contact with Jamalian to
    evacuate him either to Houston or Atlanta. Also Armenian foreign
    ministry has said it is in a constant contact with US embassy here,
    with Crisis Management Center and other US emergency agencies in
    order to get information about Jamalian and other Armenian citizens
    who may be stranded in New Orleans.

    Armenian foreign ministry said the Crisis Management Center convened
    foreign ambassadors to USA on August 31 and provided them with e-mail
    addresses and phone numbers they can use in order to get information
    about their citizens who are likely to be in New Orleans. Meantime
    U.S. troops made their way to New Orleans on Friday with shoot-to-kill
    orders to scare off looting gangs so rescuers can help thousands of
    people stranded by Hurricane Katrina, find the dead and clean up the
    carnage. Around 14,000 Guard troops were on the ground and 30,000
    more are expected in the coming days.
