No U.S. Ambassador for Armenia

07 August 2006 [21:51] - TODAY.AZ
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee is putting off until September consideration of career diplomat Richard Hoagland as Ambassador to Armenia.

According to the Associated Press, the delay stems from objections by some senators to U.S. President George W. Bush's administration's refusal to classify the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 as "genocide."
