23 April 2009 [15:55] - TODAY.AZ
U.S. President Barack Obama will not pronounce "genocide" so that not to harm the Turkish-Armenian ties during his speech on April 24, a Turkish deputy said.
"Obama's attitude towards "Armenian genocide" is unchanged. Obama will not pronounce the word "genocide" in order not to harm the Turkish-Armenian ties," a deputy from the People's Republican Party Onur Oyman sid over phone from Ankara.

Every year on April 24 Armenians mark anniversary of the so-called "genocide", falsifying historical facts, making baseless claims against Ankara. In 2006, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan proposed to Armenian President to create a joint commission. However, the Armenian side did not accept the proposal saying that it did not have a doubt on interpretation of the event.

The U.S. will get nothing by recognizing the false "genocide".

"The U.S. refers to false "genocide" in order to win the sympathy of Armenian lobby," he said.
