Armenian Americans awaiting Secretary of State appointment

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Americans are awaiting appointment of the Secretary of State, who will determine the U.S. foreign policy, a source in the Armenian diaspora in Washington told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



"If Hillary Clinton becomes Secretary of State, she will do everything her husband says," the source said.



"Obama seemed more sincere when pledging to recognize the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian community believed him. We should not forget that Mrs. Clinton paid a visit to Turkey as a presidential candidate and there were rumors that some Turkish lobbying organizations sponsored her election campaign," it said.



As reported by The Guardian, Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration.



Clinton would be well placed to become the country's dominant voice in foreign affairs, replacing Condoleezza Rice. Since being elected senator for New York, she has specialized in foreign affairs and defense. Although she supported the war in Iraq, she and Obama basically agree on a withdrawal of American troops.



Former US president Bill Clinton said that his wife Hillary will be a "great secretary of state."
