ArmInfo.The recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the United States is an internal issue of the United States, said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President.
"This is an internal affair of the United States," he told reporters, RIA Novosti reported.
On April 24, Biden officially recognized the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. This gesture was timed to the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Armenian Genocide. In his statement, the American leader noted that those who remember the victims of the massacres on this day undertake to prevent a repetition of such atrocities.
In response, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Ankara completely rejects the statements of the US President on the recognition of the genocide. In his opinion, such statements by Biden are entirely based on populism.
