"Armenian people do not care whether Barack Obama will use the term Genocide or not. This is important for the Armenian community of the United States only," Ashot Melkonyan told a news conference today."The U.S. recognized the Genocide de jure long ago. As to Turkey, it will acknowledge the fact sooner or later. Turkish historians know what happened in 1915 and who lived in Western Armenia," he said. Indemnity is what Turkey is afraid of, according to him. "We should maintain dignity in relations with Turkey. Otherwise, we will lose," Melkonyan said.
