Washington: SPEECH OF HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR. OF NEW JERSEY IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THURSDAY, JULY 3, 2014
Washington
The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech:
Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank Ambassador
Tatoul Markarian for his service as the Ambassador of the Republic of
Armenia to the United States.
A distinguished diplomat, the Ambassador has a long career in public
service, having represented the people of Armenia both at home and
around the world. Prior to his current position, he served as the
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Special Representative of the
President of Armenia for Nagorno Karabakh negotiations and as
Ambassador to the Mexican States. Additionally, he served previously
from 1994-1999 as the Deputy Chief of Mission for the Armenian Embassy
in Washington.
Before entering the Armenian Foreign Service, Ambassador Markarian
served in the newly-independent Armenia's legislative and executive
branches.
I am proud of the work we have been able to accomplish together while
Ambassador Markarian has been stationed in Washington for the last
nine years. Together, we have fought together for Congressional
Recognition of the Armenian Genocide, and foreign aid assistance to
both the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Armenia. As the founder and
Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, I have had
the honor of working closely on these issues for more than twenty
years.
Today, the U.S.-Armenian relationship remains critically important.
Armenia has been a crucial ally in a strategic region of the world by
extending robust support for the U.S.-led peacekeeping deployments in
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kosovo. Additionally, they have cooperated with
the United States on a broad range of regional and security
challenges. This relationship has been stewarded and advanced by
Ambassador Markarian during his time in Washington.
Ambassador Markarian has dedicated his life's work to our shared goals
and the people of Armenia. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to
him for his service here in the United States and offer both him and
his family the best of luck as they move forward on to their next
diplomatic posting.
