U.S. President Barack Obama, making the annual statement on the anniversary of the so-called "Armenian genocide" on Saturday, did not use the word "genocide" and called the 1915 events by an expression in Armenian language, translated as "great tragedy". U.S. President called on Saturday the incident of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire "Meds Yeghern" (Great Disaster) as he did for the last two years, avoiding to branding them "genocide". Obama took Armenian lobbies off-guard by releasing his statement a day before April 24, the day Armenians remember as the anniversary of the onset of the incidents.
