/PanARMENIAN.Net/ One of the Armenian community's prior candidates to
the U.S. Senate was Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), ARF Bureau's Hay
Dat and Political Office Director Kiro Manoian told a news conference
in Yerevan today. In his words, Armenians are grateful to Senator
Menendez for making the Senate freeze the process of Hoagland's
nomination for Ambassador to Armenia. "The Armenian community had
agitators in all constituencies and called to vote for the candidate.
We also hope that after the replacement of the House Speaker the
issue will be included in the agenda and another nomination will be
announced," he remarked adding that an Ambassador denying the Armenian
Genocide cannot represent U.S. interests in Armenia properly.
According to Manoian, newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
have already stated that the bill on the Armenian Genocide will be
submitted to consideration of the House. "In this view the victory
of Democrats can be rated as an advance, because the Republicans
headed by ex-speaker Dennis Hastert always blocked the adoption of
the resolution," he stressed.
New Jersey is mostly inhabited by natives of Near East, Iran and
South-East Asia, specifically China and Thailand.
