The Armenian Assembly of America is not satisfied with President Obama’s statement marking the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

The Assembly called it a statement of “missed opportunities”, AFP reports.

“Words do matter, and today’s statement on the eve of Easter and the commemoration of the Armenian genocide was a missed opportunity to help heal open wounds of the past,” said Bryan Ardouny, Assembly’s executive director.

Since being elected U.S. President, Barack Obama has made his third address to the Armenian community in the United States in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.

However, as during his previous addresses, the U.S. President used the term Meds Yeghern (Arm. Great Massacre), without qualifying the crime as genocide.
