Yerevan, March 7: The US embassy in Armenia has not confirmed rumours
that Washington is recalling its ambassador John Evans from Armenia.
First the information about Evans’ recall appeared in The California
Courier newspaper.
Moreover, it was reported that the ambassador informed the government
of Armenia of this decision. According to the newspaper, the reason
for the recall was the ambassador’s incorrect statement about the
Armenian genocide in the Ottoman empire.
The US Senate has allegedly confirmed Richard Hoagland, the current
US ambassador to Tajikistan, as the ambassador to Armenia. A spokesman
of the Armenian Foreign Ministry said that he has no right to comment
on the affairs of a foreign state.
