The Armenian community in the US is disappointed with President Barack Obama, because he has not said “genocide” and said “Mets Yegern” (“Great Slaughter”) instead.
Obama promised to recognize the Armenian Genocide during his electoral campaign. Most Armenians may consider voting for another candidate in November, unlike in 2008.
Elizabeth Chudzhyan, the PR official of Ay Dat office in Washington, said that Armenians trusted Obama in 2008. The president has not made any steps towards improving economic ties with Armenia.
Chudzhyan said that appointing Matthew Bryza as the US Ambassador to Azerbaijan was a bad step as well, because the ambassador was pro-Azerbaijani.
