/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Thousands of US Armenians participated in annual
rally in commemoration of Armenian Genocide victims. This time,
US Armenians had great expectations towards US President’s annual
statement. Yet, Barack Obama did not fulfill his pledge, by refraining
from saying the Genocide word in his traditional address to US
Armenian Community.
"We expected our president to fulfill his pledge by saying the Genocide
word, but he managed to get round the term. Disappointment felt by
the majority of Armenians is beyond words. People believed Obama’s
electoral promises to recognize the Armenian Genocide as a President,"
US citizen Nazeli Martirosyan said during a telephone conversation
with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
