Contents of Barack Obama’s Statement on Armenian Remembrance Day
suggest US is still interested in Turkey, according to RA NAS Oriental
Studies Institute director Ruben Safrastyan.

As he told PanARMENIAN.Net the US failed to uphold its democracy
supporter image.

” Barack Obama deserves moral censure for once again making a bargain
with his conscience,” Safrastyan emphasized.

As he noted, this year Administration will not be strongly pressuring
Congress in reference to Armenian Genocide resolution passage.

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