/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The appointment of the US Ambassador to Armenia is
purely American problem and neither Armenians nor any other nation can
influence it, Head of Hay Dat Office Kiro Manoyan stated at a news
conference September 19. In his words, most senators, who voted for
Hoagland, motivated their actions that the White House will not propose
another candidate in case Hoagland is not confirmed. "All members
of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee are sure that the White
House should change its position over the Armenian Genocide," he said.

In Manoyan’s words, White House confirming Hoagland during US Senate
vacation not ruled out. "In any case the Ambassador is a representative
of the President and he should express the position of the state
leader," he said. In Manoyan’s opinion, the US-Armenia relations are
at a rather high level. "There are no serious problems between us,"
he remarked. As of the Millennium Challenge Program, Manoyan noted
the importance of holding "transparent and fair parliamentary and
presidential elections in 2007 and 2008," reports IA Regnum.
