the legacy of what Armenia consider as a mass massacre for the deaths
of Armenians on the hand of Turkish soldiers during the First World War

return its Ambassador to the U.S. after withdrawing him to protest
the Congress’ decision of describing the killings of Armenians during
the war as "Genocide".
