U.S. President Barack Obama’s April 24 statement is unprecedented not only for Armenians, a Ukrainian political scientist said.
“As a matter of fact, we witnessed renewal of legal language. Employing the term Mets Yeghern, Obama not only confirmed the outrageous crime committed the Armenian nation but also put into circulation a phrase fully identical to Genocide, which means total annihilation of a nation in its historical land like Holocaust means annihilation of a nation in Diaspora,” Tigran Avagyan said.
“April 24, 2009 has changed the conceptual and legal mechanism of the system of international relations,” he said, Analitika.at.ua reported.
