The youth organization "Spirit Guards" of Armenian Ariner Order is
against Richard Hogland’s assignment on the post of the US Ambassador
to Armenia.

"The representatives of the youth of Armenia, who are faithful to
their traditional beliefs and customs, consider the appointment of the
homosexual ambassador to Armenia inadmissible and nasty from the moral
point of view. Besides, Richard Hogland has preconceived and biased
opinion about Armenians," says Edgar Helhelyan, chairman of the board.

The representatives of the organization were indignant at the decision
of calling former US ambassador to Armenia John Evans back. They think
the official Washington has showed its negative attitude towards
Armenia and Armenians spread all over the world. This attitude is
determined by the fact that Americans have common interests with
Turkey on economic, military and political issues. Edgar Helhelyan
claims that John Evans was one of the unique officials in the USA who
could openly divulge the truth and name the mass murders of 1886 –
1923 committed by the Turkish government genocide."

By the way, the youth organization "Spirit Guards" released a statement
in this connection. They are going to send it to the Armenian and
American authorities. If this act of complaint doesn’t work they are
going to organize rallies on the day of Hogland’s arrival in Armenia.
