J. ADAM ERELI HOLDS STATE DEPARTMENT REGULAR NEWS BRIEFING
SPEAKER:
J. ADAM ERELI, STATE DEPARTMENT DEPUTY SPOKESMAN
WASHINGTON, D.C.
[parts omitted]
QUESTION: One question on Armenia: The Los Angeles Times, in an
editorial from your ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, under the
title, in quotation, “It Was A Genocide,” wrote, inter alia, quote,
“Punishing an ambassador for speaking honestly about a 90-year-old
crime befits a cynical double-dealing monarchy, not the leader of the
free world,” unquote.
How do you respond to that?
ERELI: I haven’t seen the article. Let me look at it.
Thanks.
