/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Concerns continued to grow this week regarding the
circumstances surrounding the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia
John Marshall Evans, as Sen. Russell Feingold (D-WI) becomes the
ninth member of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee
to call for clarification of the State Department policy on the
Armenian Genocide.
In a written statement, submitted as part of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee hearing on Ambassador Designate to Armenia Richard
Hoagland, Sen.
Feingold noted that, "I want to express my deep concern about the
Administration's reluctance to acknowledge the acts of genocide
that were committed against the Armenians almost a century ago. The
Administration's continued failure to recognize these tragic events
is troubling to me and to those who share my belief that we should
speak honestly about, and insist on accountability for, past crimes
against humanity and genocide."
Amongst specific questions to the Ambassador Designate, Sen. Feingold
asked Hoagland's opinion on the reasons why Ambassador Evans was
removed as Ambassador to Armenia, what was the Administration's policy
towards acknowledging the Armenian genocide and what boundaries had
been set for his position as Ambassador to address or speak about the
Armenian genocide, reported the Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA).
