WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06),
co-chair of the Congressional Armenian Issues Caucus, hosted a
farewell meeting with Tatoul Markarian, Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia to the United States.
Ambassador Markarian has been stationed in Washington for the last
nine years.
"Ambassador Markarian has dedicated his life to public service and the
people of Armenia, said Congressman Pallone. "Throughout his tenure
in Washington, he has been a powerful advocate for Congressional
recognition of the Armenian genocide, and foreign aid assistance to
both the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Armenia."

States on March 19, 2005. Prior to assuming this position, Ambassador
Markarian served as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Armenian
coordinator for the U.S.-Armenia Strategic Dialogue as well as
the NATO-Armenia Political-Military, Special Representative of the
President of Armenia for Nagorno Karabakh negotiations and as Advisor
to Foreign Minister. Before joining the Armenian Foreign Service,
Ambassador Markarian served in newly-independent Armenia's legislative
and executive branches.
"I am proud of the work we have been able to accomplish with Ambassador
Markarian. I wish Ambassador Markarian and his family well and I look
forward to continuing the important U.S.-Armenian relationship with
the next Ambassador for many years ahead," added Pallone.
