Senator Robert Menendez, who represents New Jersey state, blocked the voting for the candidacy of Richard Hoagland for the position of US Ambassador to Armenia.
Mediamax agency informed that the senator stated that taking such a step he protested against the policy of the American administration that doesn't want to characterize the massacre of 1,5 million of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in early 20th century as a genocide.
According to the information, unless Menendez lifts his ban, the candidacy of Richard Hoagland for ambassador position will not be discussed at the US Senate.
