Miami Herald newspaper, an American newspaper, has written that the appointment of the new US Ambassador in Armenia Mari Yovanovich may become the tensest issue for the American Armenians during this year. “The fact that the bill on the Armenian Genocide was failed in the House of Representatives means that the appointment of Yovanovich may become the tensest issue for the American Armenians, who have been raising the Genocide issue during many years. It can be used during the US presidential election as well. A big part of the electorate in California and New Jersey consists of Armenians, and senator Barack Obama is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, which is the committee in charge of discussing the appointment of Yovanovich,” writes the newspaper. The newspaper writes that it is not clear to Yovanovich yet whether he will be able to escape from what happened to Richard Hoagland or no because the American Armenian activists and their supporters in the Senate failed Hoagland’s appointment because of the fact that he did not pronounce the word Genocide.
