    ARFD MEMBER: ARMENIAN COMMUNITY MIGHTN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of Armenian Cause Office and ARFD representative
    commented on U.S. President Barack Obama's annual address on Armenian
    Genocide Commemoration Day, in which he once again stopped short of
    using the word "genocide."

    "Obama simply broke his pledge. Though he states his position has
    remained unchanged, he once again confined himself to pronouncing
    the word "genocide," Kiro Manoyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter,
    adding that the Armenian community might not back Obama's candidacy
    during the presidential elections.

    In his April 24, 2012 statement, Obama said in part, "Today, we
    commemorate the Meds Yeghern, one of the worst atrocities of the 20th
    century. In doing so, we honor the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians
    who were brutally massacred or marched to their deaths in the waning
    days of the Ottoman Empire. As we reflect on the unspeakable suffering
    that took place 97 years ago, we join millions who do the same across
    the globe and here in America, where it is solemnly commemorated by
    our states, institutions, communities, and families."
