U.S. President Barack Obama’s April 24 statement is unprecedented
not only for Armenians, a Ukrainian political scientist said.

"As a matter of fact, we witnessed renewal of legal language. Employing
the term Mets Yeghern, Obama not only confirmed the outrageous crime
committed the Armenian nation but also put into circulation a phrase
fully identical to Genocide, which means total annihilation of a
nation in its historical land like Holocaust means annihilation of
a nation in Diaspora," Tigran Avagyan said.

"April 24, 2009 has changed the conceptual and legal mechanism of the
system of international relations," he said, Analitika.at.ua reported.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
