    Relations of the U.S. Senate declined the demands of a number of
    Senators and did not use the word "genocide".

    confirmation of R. Hoghland's authorities needed Senate's uphold. But
    three pro-Armenian Senators - George Allen and Norm Coleman (Republic
    Party), and Paul Sarbanes (Democratic Party) demanded from R.
    Hoghland to recognize the fictitious genocide of Armenians in Ottoman
    Empire. Regardless of urgent requests of three Senators, R. Hoghland
    did not use this word. "I am not for game of words and call to see

    Ambassador to Armenia binds to uphold development of regional ties
    with Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Ex-Ambassador of the
    U.S. to Armenia John Evans was recalled by the President George Bush
    in 2005 in consequence of using of the word "genocide" to the 1915
    events in Ottoman Empire.
