The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has approved of Marie Yovanovitch's candidacy as the U.S. Ambassador to Armenia. Senators approved the candidacy after the U.S. State Department had given written answers to the question on mass killings of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey during the World War I. The Committee confirmed the nomination by roll call, with Senator Boxer going against it. Final decision on the Ambassador's nomination will be announced on the August session of the Senate. Marie Yovanovitch is to give a final approval.
