Senator Coleman Worried about US Policy of Armenian Genocide Denial

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Daily Comment US newspaper and a number of others have made public the pledge of member of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US Senate Norm Coleman that he will vote against the candidacy of Richard Hoagland, nominated by President Bush as the Ambassador to Armenia. "I am concerned over our policy over denial of historical realities. The Bush Administration recognizes that since 1915 Turkish troops killed and expelled 1.5 million Armenians, however, avoids word «genocide», when speaking about it, Norm Coleman said. The editions also remind that Senator Barbara Boxer, who represents California, agreed to the hearings on Hoagland's appointment be delayed, however she did not report whom she would vote for. «The Administration has to change its policy towards Armenia,» the Senator noted, reports RFE/RL.
