“I regret that for the second year the U.S. President fails to honor his pre-electoral pledge and does not recognize the Armenian Genocide,” Prospering Armenia parliamentary group member Naira Zohrabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to her, it would have been good, if Obama called things by their proper names, but it is not correct to wait impatiently every year to see whether the U.S. President will use the word genocide. “Eventually, the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide is not limited to Barack Obama’s address. We will achieve Turkey’s recognition of the Genocide that is more important,” she stressed.

U.S President Barack Obama addressed the Armenian community of the U.S., again using the term Meds Yeghern with respect to the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
