RE:
First 5 Ambassadors to Armenia to Speak on Capitol Hill
Attached please find an invitation for a fascinating program at the Library of
Congress featuring remarks by each of the first five U.S. Ambassadors to Armenia.
The presentation will be held on Friday, September 28th from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon
in the Mumford Room of the James Madison Building. (Coffee will be served from
8:30 am to 9:00 am.)
The five speakers will be Harry Gilmore, America’s first Ambassador to Armenia,
Peter Tomsen, Michael Lemmon, John Ordway, and John Evans - who was fired
from his post last year for speaking truthfully about the Armenian Genocide. The
President recently withdrew his nominee to replace Ambassador Evans, Dick
Hoagland, in response to broad-based Senate opposition - and a hold by Senator
Bob Menendez - over to his denial of the Armenian Genocide.
This program is the latest in a series of truly compelling presentations and
extraordinary educational and cultural exhibits organized by Dr. Levon Avdoyan, the
Armenian and Georgian Area Specialist in the Library’s Near East Section.
