  Expert: chances for Obama to say ‘Genocide’ on April 24 equal to zero April 22, 2011 - 15:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan said that the chances for U.S. President Barack Obama to use the term “Genocide” on April 24 are equal to zero. “There is no difference for me whether Obama will pronounce the word “Genocide” or not. If he pronounces it, his statement will have only moral importance without any legal processes, which has no value for us,” Melkonyan told a press conference in Yerevan.
