U.S. Armenians observe 95th anniversary of genocide

Ethnic Armenians rallied outside the White House in Washington on
Saturday to commemorate the 95th anniversary of Armenian genocide in
Turkey. Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether Congress will approve a draft
resolution recognizing the mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire in the early 20th century as genocide. Earlier, the resolution
was approved by the House of Representatives’ International Committee.
The Obama Administration has been carefully avoiding the term
`genocide’, fearing potential strain in U.S.-Turkish relations.
