/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.
