The name of the new US Ambassador has been introduced to Armenian
government, with an anticipation to receive an approval of his
appointment.

Acting Head of the Department of Press and Information of RA
Foreign Ministry Tigran Balayan reports the USA has requested the RA
government’s agreement on the appointment of the new Ambassador.

Refusing to publicize the name of the new Ambassador, T. Balayan said
the issue is at the stage of procedural discussions.

It is only after RA government’s approval that the candidacy will be
submitted to the Senate, which can approve or disapprove it.
