Joe Biden recognized the Armenian genocide on Saturday, becoming the first President of the United States to qualify the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians massacred by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. “Americans honor all Armenians who perished in the genocide that began 106 years ago today, ”he wrote in a statement.
It is "to honor the victims, not to overwhelm anyone", underlined an American official, on condition of anonymity, while Turkey warned in advance any recourse to what it denounces as a "lie".
