US Senate Resumes Hearings on Nomination of Ambassador to Armenia
On September 7 the US Committee on Foreign Relations will resume hearings on nomination of Richard E. Hoagland, of the District of Columbia, to be Ambassador to the Republic of Armenia. Besides, the meeting will consider nomination of John Robert Bolton, of Maryland, for the Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, with the rank and status of Ambassador, and the Representative of the United States of America in the Security Council of the United Nations, says a release placed at the US Senate website.
We note that US incumbent Ambassador in Yerevan John Evans has completed his diplomatic mission and is leaving Armenia in mid-September. We remind that 9 out of 18 members of the Commission were against recall of John Evans in August 2006. They also considered that Hoagland's candidacy does not fit for the position of the Ambassador to Armenia, as he does not acknowledge the Armenian Genocide in 1915 in Ottoman Turkey.
