US Ambassador to Armenia John Evans will not be recalled to all appearance as the American diplomat has expressed not only his own opinion but also that of two thirds of the House, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan stated in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. He believes that recall of an Ambassador, whom Daniel Fried called «fantastic», cannot be taken as US federal authorities being opposed to the opinion of most of the States. On the eve of election and against the background of the decreasing authority of George Bush a turn of the events of the type is extremely undesirable for the White House.
«Thus I suppose J. Evans will continue his service as US Ambassador to Armenia till the end of his tenure,» the political scientists remarked.
To remind February 19, 2005 John Evans indicated the importance of recognition of the Armenian Genocide at a meeting with California Armenian community members. «I will today call it the Armenian Genocide,” Evans said. In the opinion of State Department officials Evans did not have the right to make statements of the type even in his personal capacity.
