as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic
of Armenia on August 1, 2008. Prior to her appointment to Armenia,
Ambassador Yovanovitch was Ambassador of the United States of America

career member of the U.S. diplomatic service, with the personal rank
of minister- counselor. Prior to serving in the Kyrgyz Republic,
she was the Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of State for
Political Affairs from August 2004 to May 2005. From August 2001 to
June 2004, she was the Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy
Kyiv, Ukraine. From May 1998 to May 2000, she served as the Deputy
Director of the Office of Russian Affairs. Her previous overseas

Ambassador Yovanovitch joined the Foreign Service in 1986. Ambassador

a BA in History and Russian Studies (1980). She has studied at the
Pushkin Institute (1980) and received an MS from the National War

To note, the post of the US ambassador to Armenia has been vacant

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
