Turkish parliament speaker: US president tries to please Armenian lobby

US President Joe Biden used the term "Armenian genocide" last year. He was expected to do the same in 2023 too, Chairman of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Sentop said, Report informs via TRT News.

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."
