John Heffern about Tigran Sargsyan’s appointment as ambassador
“Every country chooses its ambassador by itself who presents their country in other states. We have actively operated with Mr. Sargsyan while he was a Prime Minister and I guess we will continue our cooperation in Washington as well,” told today US ambassador to Armenia John Heffern answering to the question of the journalist whether Tigran Sargsyan is the best person who can present Armenia in the US, regarding the fact that he is linked to “off-shores”.
Answering the question what was changed during the years of his operation in Armenia or what kind of changes would he like to see, John Heffern answered, “I will be here for some time, and I have a lot to do yet. For me and for the next ambassador, I am sure, the establishment of economical ties, opening new workplaces for the Armenian people will remain prior.”
