PanARMENIAN.Net - Re-elected U.S. President Barack Obama will avoid
pronouncing the word "genocide" in his Armenian Genocide 100th
anniversary address, former ambassador of Armenia to Canada and head
of Modus Vivendi center said.
Ara Papian labelled Armenians' expectations for Obama's uttering the
word "genocide" as a disease transmissible from Diaspora.
"I don't see any point in it. The U.S. was the first country in the
world to address the UN with a written statement in 1951, describing
the mass killings against Armenians as Genocide, the term that was
later repeated by President Ronald Reagan," he said, slamming the
vision that the U.S. recognition of Armenian Genocide will press for
Turkish compensation.
The expert further noted Genocide recognition meaningful only in the
context of possible reimbursement.
"Genocide recognition is an expired program if it's not bound with
compensation demands," he said.
