YEREVAN. – Ever since being appointed the new Secretary of State of the United States, John Kerry has started working in accordance with what President Barack Obama says; and this certainly is comprehensible to some extent. Giro Manoyan, Director of the International Secretariat of Armenia’s opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party Bureau and Head of the Armenian Cause Office, told this to Armenian News-NEWS.am.         

“But one cannot overlook the fact that the serving secretary of state was much closer to the Armenian community [of America] than his predecessor [Hillary Clinton]. John Kerry will be more accessible for the Armenians. This, in turn, may mean that, owing to [his] awareness of the Armenian viewpoint, the [new] secretary of state will have the opportunity to give right advice to the president of the country,” Manoyan noted. 

Also, he expressed a view that John Kerry will be more open to listening to the position of the American-Armenian community.
