Congressman Adam Schiff urged Barack Obama to plainly recognize Armenian Genocide

US Congressman Adam Schiff urged US President Barack Obama to openly recognize the fact of Armenian Genocide. 

In his open letter Schiff expressed hope that Obama will recognize the Armenian Genocide in his final year in office in advance of the 101st anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

At the same time he mentioned that regardless of what Obama say on April 24th, there can be little doubt that Turkey will do exactly as it has always done in its relations with the United States - and that is whatever Turkey believes to be in its self-interest.
