U.S. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said that Turks never called her for support regarding the Armenian Genocide bill introduced in the Congress, while the Armenian lobby in the United States was often meeting with her. Clinton's remarks came in a response to a question posed by Turkish businessman Saadettin Saran during a dinner in New York, the Turkish Daily News reports.

In April Mrs. Clinton spoke out in support to the H.Res.106. A week before another presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama stressed the significance of the Armenian Genocide recognition.
