| | | | On the 90th anniversary of the alleged genocide, April 24, Ankara expects that the word “genocide” would not be uttered in the US congress but terms of similar meaning to be used.
In a meeting on Thursday, attended by more than 20 congressmen, the Democratic Party candidate for the 2003 presidential elections, John Kerry, said that they would work hard to have Washington recognise the Armenian genocide.
“President Bush should request Turkey to change its position, since 1.5 million people were killed. This is a big genocide. We shall take a lesson from history,” Kerry said.
