Richard Hoagland’s appointment as US Ambassador to Armenia is
currently in the hands of the Department of State, Elizabeth Chuljian,
Press Secretary of the Armenian National Committee of America, told
Armenpress. "Now we have nothing to do but to wait for the decision
of the Bush Administration."

According to legislation, the President can confirm the nomination,
bypassing the Senate affirmation. "However, let’s hope that things
will not go that way. At last, no one wants the interests of America
to be represented in Armenia by an Ambassador unable to carry out
productive work. Certainly, the Department of State is also concerned,
said Elizabeth Chuljian.

Let us remind that a few days ago President Bush re-nominated
Hoagland, following which Senator Bob Menendez placed the second
"hold" on his appointment.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
