WHO IS TO BECOME NEXT US AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA?
This question, which remained out of sight for the recent months, is again becoming actual. It became known that US President George Bush represented to the Armenian side the new candidature for the office, Marie Louise Jovanovich. It is also known that Ms. Jovanovich has been working at the US Department of State since 1986. She studied at the Princeton University, specialized in studies of Russian history, also graduated from the Pushkin Istitute, Russia and the Military College, USA. According to information received, the parents of Ms. Jovanovich came from Serbia and were of Russian descent.
At present Jovanovich is the US Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan. In 2002-2004 she worked at the US Embassy in Kiev.
Anyways, there is still a long way from proposing one's candidature and appointing the person to the office. First of all the candidature of Marie Louise Jovanovich is to be approved by the Armenian side and then by the US Senate.
Here the difficulties begin. To be reminded, Richard Hoagland's candidature was declined because he refused Armenian Genocide, and, evidently, Jovanovich shall hardly have the luck to avoid answering questions on the Genocide at the Foreign Affairs Commission. The position of the official Washington has not changed since then, while the number of Armenian Genocide supporters has grown in the Congress, therefore Jovanovich will have to make a difficult choice.
On the other hand, the US diplomatic mission in Armenia cannot stay without a leader for a long time, and Armenia is interested in having a new American Ambassador as soon as possible. According to information received from Armenian lobbying organizations in the United States, they are more or less friendly towards attitude to Marie Louise Jovanovich, and it is possible that she won't be asked questions about the Genocide.
"Azg" also learned that the candidature of Jovanovich was suggested by Bush at the time when emergency measures were announced in Yerevan. This makes us think that the White House considers its interests in Armenia threatened by the growing Russian influence and aims at consolidating its positions in our country with the appointment of a new Ambassador.
The Foreign Ministry of Armenia informed that the new candidature of US Ambassador is now being considered, but unofficial sources assure that President Kocharian has already approved it.
