Yesterday journalists had the chance to find out whether the
information about Amb. Evans being called back is true or false. At the
press conference of Matthew Bryza, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
for European and Eurasian Affairs, at the US Embassy, the ambassador
answered this question. “We all serve our country’s president. I
hope no one expects that an ambassador will remain forever. In fact,
I do not know when I will finish my mission to Armenia. And I have
submitted no documents for resignation. I am still here and will
continue as a head of this mission as long as I am not aboard the
plane to leave the country.” Matthew Bryza, on his part, said that
there is no question of recalling Amb. Evans and he is an excellent
ambassador. The USA is lucky to have John Evans in Armenia, and his
recalling will be as late as possible.
