A disgusting appointment.
This one may be worse than his predecessor. Pitiful sight of the American diplomacy. Aren’t there fresh faces in this country? Or America is only able to recall the worst practices of the Cold War by expelling foreign diplomats based on evidence-free accusations? Deplorable…
Let me be frank:
Hoagland is a Genocide denier, and the only positions he is qualified for are animal control officer or meter maid.
This appointment is sheer insensitivity.
His nomination to the ambassadorship of Armenia was thwarted and withdrawn because he is Genocide denier.
Now he is being given a position where he will deny the Azeri violations, aggressions, hostilities and other criminal actions.
Obama seems to place someone as co-chair of the Minsk group, who will do nothing to bring peace; on the contrary will place the blame game on the Armenian side.
Disgusting and disgraceful.

Armenian officials should take Hoagland to Tsitsernakaberd to honor the genocide victims as first order. Its abundantly clear the US State Dept, regardless of President, will never be a friend of the Armenian people. This tradition goes back to the 1930’s when it purposely thwarted Hollywood from making ‘The 40 days at Musadagh’ for appeasing Muslim Turks and to help hide the Armenian mass murders. This betrayal by the US State Dept. was just 15 years after the Genocide. It works hard till this day to counter anything Armenian and appointing this Armenian genocide denier Hoagland is just part of that purposeful effort.. Know your enemies.
Not only protest Mr. Hoaglund’s assignment but also refuse to deal with him
unless he has read the Armenian history of Turkish Genocide properly, not as lobbeyist for Turkey, and reversed his stand as a denier of Genocide of Armenians.
