Mary Yovanovich, the US Candidate of Ambassador to Armenia answered to
Barrack Obama request using "Big Genocide" term when talking about the
mass crime conducted by the ottoman Empire in 1915-1923 by bringing as
an argument that this is how Armenians name it, writes radio "Liberty"
referring to Armenian Attorney Office in Washington.
To Obama’s questions Yovanovich gave distinct answers. She said that
in case she is appointed as the Ambassador to Armenia she will keep
the tradition of visiting the Monument of Genocide to commemorate the
victims. She said that in order to use mass crime it would be better
to use "Big Genocide" as most Armenians do to describe what was done
by Ottoman Empire.
