Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is confident President
Barack Obama will not use the term Genocide in his Aril 24 address
to US Armenian community.
"That would be my expectation, because to this day, no American leader
has uttered that word, and I believe that President Obama will not,"
Erdogan stated.
"No nation, no people has the right to impose the way it remembers
history to another nation or people -- and Turkey does not try to do
that," CNN cited him as saying.
"Like the genocide of the Armenians before it, and the genocide
of the Cambodians which followed it - and like too many other such
persecutions of too many other peoples - the lessons of the Holocaust
must never be forgotten," 40th US President Ronald Reagan said in
his April 22, 1981 proclamation in commemoration of Victims of the
Holocaust.
