(CNSNews.com) – The Armenian community in the United States is cautiously optimistic following reports that President Joe Biden plans to recognize Ottoman Turkey’s mass killings of Armenians a century ago as “genocide.”
The Turkish government is warning that the move will worsen ties between the NATO allies, and the Turkish American lobby says it will stoke “Turkophobic” sentiment.
Saturday is the anniversary of the day Armenians mark as the beginning of the atrocities on April 24, 2015. Over the following years, some 1.5 million Armenians were killed as the Ottoman Empire fractured amid and in the aftermath of World War I.
