State Department Briefing, March 13
QUESTION: Is the Ambassador of Armenia being — having his career
shortened because he spoke out against genocide in Armenia?
MR. CASEY: Barry, I know we promised you an answer on that one
on Friday. Still don’t have it and I’ll get something for
you this afternoon.
QUESTION: You mean his future hasn’t been decided yet?
MR. CASEY: Not that I’m aware of.
QUESTION: I think it has.
MR. CASEY: I believe you think it does.
QUESTION: No, I do believe it does and so do — and I have reason to
believe it does and I know there are at least two members
of Congress who believe it does. No, I just think the State
Department is having difficulty finding words to announce
his premature retirement.
MR. CASEY: No. We owe you an answer on that.
QUESTION: Thank you.
MR. CASEY: I’ll get it for you.
