/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved
the nomination of Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State, and held
a hearing on the nomination of Susan Rice to be a cabinet-level United
Nations envoy.
The panel voted 16 to one to send the nomination to the full Senate,
which is expected to confirm Clinton just after the Obama inauguration
ceremony next Tuesday, VOA reports.
During her historic presidential campaign Secretary Designate Clinton
stated, "I believe the horrible events perpetrated by the Ottoman
Empire against Armenians constitute a clear case of genocide. Our
common morality and our nation's credibility as a voice for human
rights challenge us to ensure that the Armenian Genocide be recognized
and remembered by the Congress and the President of the United States."
