Obama Recognized the Armenian Genocide, Says Turkish Opposition

US President Barack Obama used the term Meds Yeghern in his April 24 commemoration speech which in Armenian is equal to the expression Armenian Genocide, said Onur Oymen, Deputy Chairman of the Turkish largest oppositional Republican People’s Party, quoted by CNNTurk.

Oymen also said that Obama’s statement was unacceptable for them.

“The term Meds Yeghern in Armenian is equal to the term Armenian Genocide. Obama considers the 1915 events as Genocide. He speaks in his address about massacres, atrocities. For that reason his statement is unacceptable for us,” said Onur Oymen.
