/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The US President Barack Obama will not employ the
word genocide in his Annual Address of April 24, Armenian Center for
National Strategic Studies Director Richard Giragosyan stated.
"Obama is smart enough to plead Congressional decision on Armenian
Genocide Resolution passage, in case he’s accused of breaking his
promises to US Armenian community. Barack Obama will sign Armenian
Genocide Resolution in case it’s passed by Congress, otherwise –
he won’t," Giragosyan said. According to him, the important thing
is that the Jewish lobby does not interfere with resolution passage
and does not take sides with Turkey. "This was made possible after
Ankara’s criticism of Jerusalem on Operation Cast Lead in Gaza Strip,"
Giragosyan emphasized.
"America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian
Genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides. I intend to be that
President," stated Barack Obama in his pre election speech of 2008,
pledging, that, as president, he will recognize the Armenian Genocide.
