Regarding oral answers of the nominee in Senate, particularly on
Armenian-Turkish relations and his disposition on Armenian Genocide,
Manoyan told that Heffern stated Washington's official viewpoint. He
added nothing unlike previous nominee Richard Hoagland, who tried to
comment on disposition of Secretariat of the State on Genocide issue.
"Hoagland has stated that Washington cannot recognize the Genocide

into question the deliberateness of the Genocide," Manoyan stressed
and added that Heffern's answers on this issue were moderate.
