YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has asked members of the U.S. Senate to call on President Bush to withdraw his nomination of Dick Hoagland for the next U.S. Ambassador to Armenia.
In letters sent on November 8th to all one hundred Senators, ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian stressed that: "Very simply, a genocide denier cannot effectively promote U.S. interests or American values in Armenia - a country that rose from the ashes of Turkey's genocidal campaign."
He added that, "confirming an Ambassador to Armenia who denies the Armenian Genocide would dramatically undermine U.S. diplomacy in Armenia and mark a major retreat from our nation's noble commitment to genocide prevention."
