YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. John Evans,
the U.S. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary who finished
his mission to the RA, in response to a question of a correspondent
of the Public Television of Armenia if, however, the Ambassador’s
pronounciation of the world "genocide" was a diplomatic error or a
personal opinion, mentioned that he does not discuss this issue in
Armenia. In his words, there are some issues which are spoken about
in the U.S. Responding the question "However, do you go, because
you pronounced the word "genocide" at a meeting with the American
Armenian community?" the Ambassador said, "They would not say like
that, you say in that way." He did not exclude that he may once write
a book where there will be exhaustive answers and the complete picture
will be seen. John Evans also informed that he intends to have a rest
in New York for about a year as soon as he returns the Fatherland,
then to return Washington, but not for a diplomatic service: "I have
left the sphere of diplomacy, retired , but it does not mean that I
will do nothing," the former Ambassador to Armenia said.
