Nevertheless, the 44th U.S. President will refrain from using the term 'genocide' in his April 24 statement," Ruben Safrastyan, director of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the RA Academy of Sciences, told a news conference in Yerevan today. During his historical election campaign Obama numerously stated that "America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian Genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides." He also pledged to cement the U.S.-Armenian relations, which will contribute to development of democracy in Armenia.
