"If a state like the United States considers international law, it will not make such a decision (I mean the "so-called" Armenian genocide - ed.)," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said in his interview to NTV.
Commenting on whether US President Joseph Biden would recognize the so-called Armenian genocide, the Foreign Minister said: "The US presidents earlier made this claim. A country like the United States makes many reminders to other countries. If the United States takes into account international law, it will not make such a decision. We do not think that the United States will make such a statement on April 24. The worst-case scenario - let's assume that it is accepted. Such an expression used by a politician does not change the situation. The UN made a clear decision in 1948 in this regard.
Notably, previous US presidents did not use the term genocide when talking about the events of April 1915. Former President Donald Trump called the events of this history a "great catastrophe."
