U.S. Ambassador Described Her Meetings With Armenian-American Communities as "Useful"

United States Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch has described her latest meetings with members of the Armenian-American community as "useful."

Yovanovitch made a similar tour a year ago, as her predecessors had done before. The diplomat's itinerary this year included Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

"I think it's just useful because there are so many Americans of Armenian origin who are doing interesting and important things in Armenia. So it's interesting for me to hear what they're doing," Yovanovitch told RFE/RL on October 17 after a 10-day tour of the four U.S. cities. "And I think, if I may say, it's interesting for them to hear what we're doing, because we're doing a lot in the various areas across the sectors and I think it's useful to have that exchange and useful to have face to face communication and try to build bridges with a very large part of the Armenian population in the world."  Read more...
