/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Americans are awaiting appointment of
the Secretary of State, who will determine the U.S. foreign policy,
a source in the Armenian diaspora in Washington told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.

"If Hillary Clinton becomes Secretary of State, she will do everything
her husband says," the source said.

"Obama seemed more sincere when pledging to recognize the Armenian
Genocide. The Armenian community believed him. We should not forget
that Mrs. Clinton paid a visit to Turkey as a presidential candidate
and there were rumors that some Turkish lobbying organizations
sponsored her election campaign," it said.

As reported by The Guardian, Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job
of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out
to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration.

Clinton would be well placed to become the country’s dominant voice
in foreign affairs, replacing Condoleezza Rice. Since being elected
senator for New York, she has specialized in foreign affairs and
defense. Although she supported the war in Iraq, she and Obama
basically agree on a withdrawal of American troops.

Former US president Bill Clinton said that his wife Hillary will be a
"great secretary of state."
