US State Dept says announcement Saturday on 'Armenian genocide'

The US State Department said to expect an announcement Saturday on the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 amid expectations President Joe Biden will defy Turkey to label the massacres a genocide.

"When it comes to the Armenian genocide, you can expect an announcement tomorrow," State Department deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter told reporters Friday, while declining to reveal details. sct/ft

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
