Armenians upset at Obama for breaking promise to recognize Armenian genocide
April 23rd, 2012 | By SanaArshad in News, Obama, Political | No Comments »
For the past three years, President Obama has recognized Armenian Remembrance Day by using words such as “horrific” to describe the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, breaking his promise to use the word “genocide.”
That does not sit well with many Armenian Americans, who say they feel betrayed.
“He has, in addition to betraying his own words and compromising America’s moral standing, gravely disappointed Armenians here in the United States, in Armenia, and around the world who had looked to him as an example of courage, conviction, and conscience,” the Armenian National Committee of America said in a statement.
