The Armenian diaspora in the United States was also unhappy with the president's statement and criticised him for failing to make good on his pre-election promise to recognise the Armenian genocide.
Jermenska dijaspora u Sjedinjenim Državama takođe nije bila zadovoljna predsednikovim saopštenjem i kritikovala ga je zato što nije ispunio svoje predizborno obećanje da će priznati genocid nad Jermenima.
