Amazing Turkey: Biden is expected to formally recognise Genocide against Armenians

This movement ʹ something Biden has promised as candidate can further complicate strained relations with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Administration officials have not informed Turkey, and Beden can still turn his mind, according to an official who talked about the Associated Press, translates Periscopi in Albanian.

Lawmakers and Armenian-American activists are lobbiing Beden to announce on the day of the Armen Genocide Memorial, to be marked on Saturday.

One possibility is that Biden may also include the annual Memorial Day announcement of genocide.

Biden's predecessors have avoided using the term “genocide”.

Turkey acknowledges that many Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire were killed during clashes with Ottoman forces during World War I, but it disputes the death figures and denies that the killings were systematic and orchestrated and that this constitutes genocide. /Periscope
