PERINA – NOT TO BE APPOINTED AS AMBASSADOR
Hayots Ashkharh, Armenia
Sept 25 2007
Is it possibly that US Charge d’Affairs in Armenia Rudolf Perina be
appointed as US Ambassador in Armenia? On that occasion the US Charge
d’Affairs said, "As you know the next candidate for ambassador must
be nominated by the White House. Even the State Secretariat doesn’t
nominate candidate for Ambassador. It is the White House that nominates
the candidate and later the Senate confirms the nomination.
The White house hasn’t forgotten about this issue, it is in the process
of discussion. I can’t say definitely, when they will nominate the
candidate and who will be the candidate. But I can definitely say
that I’m not the one."
