PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Eric Rubin
refused to comment on the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
statement that neither President Barack Obama nor former Massachusetts
Governor Mitt Romney has earned the Armenian American community's
formal backing heading into the November 6th presidential election.
"As a government official, I cannot comment on the upcoming
presidential elections," he told journalists in Yerevan.
Mr. Rubin, however, hailed the developing cooperation between the U.S.
and Armenia.
"Neither Barack Obama, who turned his back on the multiple promises
he made on Armenian American issues, nor Mitt Romney, who as a former
Governor of Massachusetts, has no evident public record on issues of
special concern to our community, has earned the support of Armenian
American voters," ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian said earlier.
