    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Speaking at a press conference at the Glendale
    Hilton on Friday, US Ambassador to Armenia Marrie L. Yovanovitch dodged
    the Armenian Genocide issue, deferring to President Obama's April 24
    statement as US policy. In response to questions from Asbarez English
    editor Ara Khachatourian, Yovanovitch said the President's statement
    reflected Washington's policy.

    In his April 24 address, Obama refrained from using the term
    Genocide and referred to 1915 atrocities as "Mets Yeghern". During
    his pre-election campaign Obama had many times promised to recognize
    Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire in case of being elected as
    US President.
