MILLIYET- US President Barack Obama`s statement was the harshest yet since Ronald Reagan
. No, he never said `genocide,` but his statement was harsh, unilateral and accusatory. More and more academic journals call the incidents of 1915 a genocide, and 17 countries have done the same. Obama also contributed to this rising tide of academic and political pressure on Turkey. He said everything but that one word! This isn`t just about our moral and historical stature. There are also Armenian nationalists` political calculations behind the allegations! Even if certain intellectuals and politicians think they`re acting out of `humanitarian` feelings, in the end they become a tool for such spiteful calculations."
