U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to formally recognize the massacre of Armenians that happened during the World War One by the Ottoman Empire, as an act of genocide.
This recognition will be largely symbolic but also means breaking away years of carefully calibrated language from the White House.
The president is likely going to use t he word “Genocide” as part of the statement on April 24, When annual commemorations for the victims are held around the world.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday that the White House woule likely have “more to say”, but declined to elaborate.
