/PanARMENIAN.Net/ August 1 the US Senate will again discuss candidacy
of the new Ambassador to Armenia Richard Hoagland. According to the
regulations, the discussion may be stopped, if even one Senator
is against him and this happens very seldom. Nevertheless, the
Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) expects that at least
one Senator will do that. As already reported, the ANCA demands that
the US Congress do not confirm Richard Hoagland, as he did not express
a clear attitude towards the fact of the Armenian Genocide. Today
9 out of 18 Senators, who are members of Foreign Affairs Committee,
are against the new Ambassador, reports ANCA.
