The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) continues voicing
its concern about Richard Hoagland’s appointment as new Ambassador to
Armenia. `We continue insisting on our position: it is certain that
Hoagland is not a proper candidate for Armenia, particularly for
denying the Armenian Genocide,’ ANCA Press Secretary Elizabeth
Chuljyan told `Armenpress.’ She added that they are waiting for the
next step after Senator Menendez’s block on Hoagland’s nomination.

`Certainly, the Department of State should decide what it should do
for the resolution of the question: to uphold the status quo, to
bypass the Senate and appoint Richard Hoagland, or what is more
acceptable, suggest a new candidacy,’ Elizabeth Chuljyan noted

Let us remind that September 12 US Senator, Democrat Bob Menendez
blocked Richard Hoagland’s confirmation as new Ambassador to Armenia.
