Turkish parliament speaker: US president tries to please Armenian lobby

Sentop noted that a large Armenian lobby operates in the United States: “True, its strength is greatly exaggerated. But the authorities make such statements to please the Armenian lobby. In addition, today Biden announced that he will run in the 2024 presidential election.

However, the US President calling the 1915 events a genocide does not benefit the Armenians, but harms them. Because the further existence of Armenia in the region depends on normal relations with Türkiye and Azerbaijan."
