ArmInfo. US Congressman Jim Costa (D-Fresno), sent a letter to
Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch, the new ambassadorial nominee of
the United States to the Republic of Armenia, equesting her to answer
questions regarding her views and opinions about the Armenian Genocide
of 1915.

As the Armenian National Committee of America told ArmInfo, Costa said:
"It is important that the United States fill this empty diplomatic
position in Yerevan, Armenia". "But before she is confirmed by the
United States Senate, it is critical for my constituents and me to
know her thoughts on the first genocide of the 20th century: the
Armenian Genocide," he added.

“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
