USA EMBASSY IN ARMENIA DID NOT CONFIRM THE RUMORS OF RECALLING AMBASSADOR JOHN EVANS
YEREVAN, MARCH 7. ARMINFO. The USA Embassy in Armenia did not confirm
the rumors that Washington recalls from Armenia Ambassador John Evans.
The information of Mr. Evans’ recall first appeared in ‘The California
Courier’ newspaper. Moreover, it was reported that the Ambassador
reported on his recall to the Government of Armenia.
According to the newspaper, the reason of the recall was the
Ambassador’s incorrect statement about the Armenian Genocide in the
Ottoman Empire. Allegedly, the US Senate has already adopted Richard
Hoagland, presently USA Ambassador to Tajikistan, to the office of
Ambassador in Armenia.
In his return the Spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of Armenia
said that he has not the right to comment on the inner affairs of a
foreign state.
