President Joe Biden
President Joe Biden on Saturday, broke from a long-running tradition by his predecessors and recognized the Armenian Genocide in his statement on Armenian Remembrance Day.
Below is Biden’s statement.
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. Beginning on April 24, 1915, with the arrest of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople by Ottoman authorities, one and a half million Armenians were deported, massacred, or marched to their deaths in a campaign of extermination. We honor the victims of the Meds Yeghern so that the horrors of what happened are never lost to history. And we remember so that we remain ever-vigilant against the corrosive influence of hate in all its forms.

Ankara has warned President Joe Biden that if the United States were to recognize the Armenian Genocide it would “further harm” already strained ties with Turkey.
Asked in an interview with broadcaster Haberturk about whether Biden would recognize the killings as a genocide amid reports he would be the first U.S. president to do so, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the United States “needs to respect international law,” reported Reuters.
“Statements that have no legal binding will have no benefit, but they will harm ties,” Cavusoglu said. “If the United States wants to worsen ties, the decision is theirs,” he said.
