It should have happened yesterday the 17th.** Has she? An aside. There are loud whispers that she is hrya and miaserakan. How true is that? **Edit. I should have waited a couple of minutes more. Here it is. U.S. SENDS AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA AFTER TWO YEARS The Associated Press September 17, 2008 Wednesday 06:01 PM GMT The U.S. has sent an ambassador to Armenia, more than two years after the previous one had his tour of duty cut short. The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said Marie Yovanovitch arrived Wednesday night to take up her new post. A career diplomat, she had previously served as the U.S. ambassador in Kyrgyzstan. The last ambassador was withdrawn in 2006 after he referred to the World War I-era killings of Armenians in Turkey as genocide, in defiance of U.S. policy. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide, and the U.S. wants to avoid damaging relations with the NATO member and important strategic ally. At her confirmation hearings, Yovanovitch explained U.S. policy but would not comment on whether she believed genocide had occurred.
