U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA MAKES VISIT TO PRELACY
John Evans, the new United States ambassador to Armenia, visited Archbishop
Oshagan Choloyan, Prelate of the Eastern Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic
Church of America, on Friday, October 1, 2004.
Ambassador Evans, who took office in Armenia last month, exchanged
information and ideas with the Prelate on various areas of interest for the
Armenian American community.
“We especially spoke about the upcoming 90th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, education, and issues of emigration, ” said Archbishop Oshagan. “I
found the Ambassador to be very well informed about Armenian concerns and
history and was very satisfied with the scope of our conversation,” said the
Prelate.
The Ambassador visited the St. Nerses Shnorhali Library during his visit and
was impressed with the library’s collection, especially the extent of
important resources not readily accessible elsewhere.
