Each year on this day, we remember the lives of all those who died in the Ottoman-era Armenian genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring, Biden said in a statement on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
As a candidate, Biden last year vowed to make this declaration, which is widely supported by human rights groups and Armenians. The Trump administration refrained from recognizing the events as a genocide, instead labeling them as mass atrocities.

People lay flowers at the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex on Tsitsernakaberd Hill on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, which commemorates to commemorate the victims of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
Joe Biden officially recognized the ethnic cleansing of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as a genocide, the first U.S. president to do so. In a swift response, Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the statement “in the strongest terms.”
Turkey denounced Biden’s use of the word genocide for the massacres and oppression of about 1.5 million Armenians as having no “scholarly or legal basis.” They also accused President Biden of caving to pressure from “radical Armenian circles and anti-Turkey groups.”
“With regards to the events of 1915, none of the conditions required for the use of the term ‘genocide’ that is strictly defined in international law are met,” the statement reads, later adding that “the US President’s statement will not yield any results other than polarizing the nations and hindering peace and stability in our region.”
