An official with the U.S. embassy in Armenia has denied the media
reports stating that U.S. Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch is
planning to create a party in Armenia.
Earlier on Friday, some Armenian media reported that Yovanovitch
intends to create a party composed of U.S. colleague graduates
before she leaves Armenia. The reports stated that the party is to
be registered by May 26, 2011.
Yovanovitch will complete her three year mission to Armenia in June.
In Washington, she is expecting to be appointed aide to the assistant
secretary of state on Northern and Central Europe.
On Thursday, U.S. President Barrack Obama nominated John Heffern
as the new ambassador of the U.S. to Armenia. Heffern is currently
deputy head of the U.S. mission to NATO.
