Expert: chances for Obama to say ‘Genocide’ on April 24 equal to zeroApril 22, 2011 - 15:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan said that the chances for U.S. President Barack Obama to use the term “Genocide” on April 24 are equal to zero. “There is no difference for me whether Obama will pronounce the word “Genocide” or not. If he pronounces it, his statement will have only moral importance without any legal processes, which has no value for us,” Melkonyan told a press conference in Yerevan. According to him, the U.S. President and Administration should be interested in the Armenian Genocide recognition by the U.S., which has declared itself to be a country promoting democratic values in the world.
