It would have been wiser, if Armenia and Turkey started from not
big initiatives instead of trying to solve all the problems at once:
former US ambassador to Armenia John Evans told "Agenda" newspaper
talking about Armenian Turkish protocols.
'I don't think that complexities that arose in the process of improving
relations between Armenia and Turkey are because of one part. The
process was stopped because of both parts, as there were many issues
that were impossible to solve", said he.
Evans also informed that he carries on working to improve the role
of Armenia in the international sphere and also is working on his
book on the Armenian Genocide. Evans added that he does not regret
for losing his diplomatic career and pronouncing the word "Genocide",
which, by the way, was against American policy.
In September 2006 USA ambassador to Armenia John Evans has named the
events taken place in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 a Genocide, because
of which he was called back to US and then returned again to carry
on with his responsibilities as ambassador for 1.5 more years. Later
the US Senate did not appoint him in any other position.
