ArmInfo. The post about the visit to the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex has been removed from the X account of US Vice President J.D. Vance.
Earlier, a photo of Vance's visit to Tsitsernakaberd was posted on his X account, with the following caption: "Today, Vice President Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the 1915 Armenian Genocide Memorial." At the moment, the post is not available on Vance's Twitter page.
Note, Joe Biden became the first American president to recognize the massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I as genocide. Until April 24, 2021, the US leadership avoided such a definition to prevent damaging relations with Ankara. Meanwhile, according to the head of the White House, the issue is not about blaming Turkey, but rather reaffirming a historical fact.
In 2019, the US House of Representatives and Senate voted in favor of a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
