Lynne Tracy sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Armenia
Lynne M. Tracy was officially sworn in this week to serve as the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the U.S. to Armenia.
“Ambassador Tracy is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service and will represent the President of the United States in Armenia. We can’t wait to welcome her in Yerevan soon!” the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said in a Facebook post.
In a statement before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs earlier in December, Lynne Tracy stressed the key purpose of the U.S. policies in Armenia is to strengthen the country’s independent statehood.
“The overall goal of our Armenia policy remains an independent, democratic, and prosperous Armenia, at peace with its neighbors. Situated astride a geographic and cultural crossroads, Armenia has always balanced competing interests, and we continue to affirm our commitment to a sovereign Armenia, free to choose its own partners,” she said.
U.S. ambassadors are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
