Biden recognizes atrocities against Armenians as genocide in historic break from past U.S. presidents CNBC 15 hrs ago Emma Newburger President Joe Biden on Saturday recognized the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Empire forces in the early 20th century as a genocide, a historic though largely symbolic move that will likely strain already fraught relations with Turkey. Biden s declaration is a major break from past U.S. administrations, which avoided calling the atrocities genocide due to concerns over alienating Turkey, an important NATO ally and influential power in the Middle East. Turkey has contested that the killings constitute a genocide. The Trump administration refrained from recognizing the events as a genocide, instead labeling them as mass atrocities.
