Thousands of US Armenians participated in annual rally in commemoration of Armenian Genocide victims. This time, US Armenians had great expectations towards US President’s annual statement. Yet, Barack Obama did not fulfill his pledge, by refraining from saying the Genocide word in his traditional address to US Armenian Community.
“We expected our president to fulfill his pledge by saying the Genocide word, but he managed to get round the term. Disappointment felt by the majority of Armenians is beyond words. People believed Obama’s electoral promises to recognize the Armenian Genocide as a President,” US citizen Nazeli Martirosyan said during a telephone conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Thousands of US Armenians were gathered in front of TVs today, full of hopes for Obama’s April 24 statement.
