WASHINGTON RECALLED ITS AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA
Prime News Agency, Georgia
March 8 2006
Tbilisi. March 08 (Prime-News) – John Evans, ambassador extraordinary
and plenipotentiary of the US to Armenia, was recalled to Washington
The recall was caused by Ambassador’s statement on Genocide of
Armenians in Osman Empire in 1915.
During the meeting with representatives of Armenian diaspora in San
Francisco on February 19, 2005 John Evans stated about importance of
acknowledgment of genocide of Armenians.
“I would call it genocide of Armenians,” Evans stated.
This evaluation caused dissatisfaction of the US because the
representatives of American administration and officials refrained
to mentioning ‘genocide’ regarding the tragedy in Turkey.
