Biden acknowledges the Armenian genocide: “Horrors never happen again”. Ankara: “Serious mistake”

Biden’s choice to ignore diplomatic conventions is an indication of the deterioration in relations between Washington and Ankara. It is the victory of a long campaign led by American parliamentarians, under pressure from the strong Armenian diaspora in the United States.
