    USAGE OF GENOCIDE TERM GIVES CAUSE FOR MANIPULATIONS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Barrack Obama's statement on Genocide Commemoration
    Day, has had both positive and negative consequences, Yerevan Genocide
    Museum Director, a historian Hayk Demoyan told a news conference. "As
    Armenian Genocide Museum Director and an expert in this sphere,
    I see serious danger in using the genocide word as it gives cause
    for manipulations," Armenian historian noted, adding that this is a
    global problem which is not related to Armenian Genocide only.

    According to Hayk Demoyan, it would be much more preferable for Barack
    Obama to refrain from his pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

    "Positive effect produced by Obama's statement was that discussions
    around his statement increased Armenian Genocide awareness throughout
    the world," Genocide Museum Director noted.

    On Apr. 24, in his annual address to American Community, US President
    Barack Obama used the term Meds Yeghern instead of long-expected
    Genocide word "Nothing can bring back those who were lost in the
    Meds Yeghern. But the contributions that Armenians have made over the
    last ninety-four years stand as a testament to the talent, dynamism,
    and resilience of the Armenian people, and as the ultimate rebuke to
    those who tried to destroy them," Obama said in his statement.
