The meeting of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with representatives of Armenian organizations scheduled for February 9 is postponed.

According to State Department, the scheduled event will not take place due to heavy snow in Washington. No information on new meeting date is available, RFE/RL reports.

“The delay provides the State Department an opportunity to reconsider its initial invitation list for the meeting, which was widely criticized as both unbalanced and biased toward the leadership of the few groups that support the controversial Turkey-Armenia protocols, an initiative condemned by a clear majority of Armenian Americans.

Soon after being invited to the February 9 meeting, and learning of the unfair composition of the proposed Armenian-American delegation, Armenian National Committee of America Chairman Ken Hachikian asked Secretary Clinton to reconsider the invitation list, which initially included only the Armenian Assembly of America, the Western Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Armenian General Benevolent Union, Knights of Vartan, and the ANCA,” Asbarez says.
