On Saturday, US President Joe Biden recognized the World War I-era mass killings of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide.

According to the Voice of Americas, Biden’s recognition of the mass killings fulfills a campaign promise.

Meanwhile, Turkey rejected the U.S. President Joe Biden’s statement.

According to a ministry statement, Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Onal told Satterfield that Ankara rejected Biden’s comment.

Moreover, Turkey “found it unacceptable and condemned it in the stongest terms.”

The statement further stated that it caused a “wound in ties that will be hard to repair.”

During his campaign for president last year, Biden said he would “support a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide.

Besides, he said he would make universal human rights a top priority.”
