Les sénateurs démocrates Bob Menendez (NewJersey) et Ed Markey (Massachussets)
WASHINGTON, DC – Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Democrat Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), during questioning today of President Trump's nominee to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, Lynne Tracy, pressed her on the deeply flawed U.S. policy regarding the Armenian Genocide, praised Armenia's political transition, and encouraged her, if confirmed, to take concrete steps to grow the U.S.-Armenia relationship – starting with a bilateral tax treaty, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
"We regret that Ambassador-designate Tracy, in her appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was so very publicly reduced to using euphemistic and evasive language to avoid proper condemnation of the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "She is, sadly, yet another victim of the lack of will on the part of successive U.S. administrations to reject Ankara's open and arrogantly enforced gag-rule forbidding proper American remembrance of this crime."
