Obama also praised the Armenians for their contributions around the world since the tragic events in Turkey nearly a century ago, viewing them as "a testament to the strength, tenacity and courage of the Armenian people".
Obama je takođe pohvalio Jermene zbog njihovog doprinosa širom sveta, posle tih tragičnih događaja u Turskoj pre skoro jednog veka, posmatrajući to kao „dokaz snage, istrajnosti i hrabrosti jermenskog naroda".
