WASHINGTON, D.C. -U.S. President Barack Obama
described events of 1915 involving Armenians within the Ottoman Empire
as “Meds Yeghern,” an Armenian term meaning “great calamity” in a
statement released on Thursday.
In using the term, Obama again refrained, as he did last year, from describing the events as “genocide,” which he did during his first presidential campaign.
