While U.S. President Barack Obama did not go so far as to use the word
"genocide" on Turkish soil to condemn the systematic destruction of
1.5 million Armenians, he did say he had not changed his position on
the matter. While in Ankara, Obama expressed hope the dialog between
Turkey and Armenia would bear fruit. While speaking before the Turkish
parliament, Obama also expressed his belief Israel and Palestine had
not given up on the goal of a two-state solution. Times (London),
