Explain why Obama went against his promise to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide going against his promise to do so.

Created by D.A. on April 24, 2015

For a fourth straight year, President Obama declined to describe the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 as a "genocide," again breaking a campaign pledge he made in 2008. We want to know why Obama is going against American ideals to stand against injustices that have happened and are continually covered up. If the genocide was happening currently , would he take a stand to stop it or ignore it as he has been doing to avoid confrontation with Turkey ? America has not and will not dance to the tune of other nations. Let him know this.
