Current process shouldn’t be linked to Obama’s using the term Genocide, as recognition of Armenian Genocide by a number of foreign parliaments suggests progress in the issue, RPA parliamentary group member Karen Avagyan stated.

As he told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter the reasons behind non-recognition of Genocide in some countries are purely political. “After all, there would be no revolution if Obama used Genocide term. We’ll proceed with the policy of international recognition of Genocide to hold Turkey responsible in accordance with international legislation,” he emphasized.

In his annual address to US Armenian community President Obama once again termed the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire as “Mets Yeghern”.
