This has been mentioned by other female gov official from the Obama administration as well. I read her tweet but I cannot remember her name, unfortunately. She also stated the same thing that Obama did not recognize the Armenian Genocide because of ongoing negotiations between Armenia and Turkey.

I don’t condemn Serj for doing this, politics is a complicated game, and if at that point normalizing relations would be better for Armenia than the recognition of Genocide (which, let be honest, didn’t give us anything), then we needed to swallow our emotions and do that.
But Serj, knowing all these, knowing that he personally asked not to recognize the Genocide, now has the audacity to condemn the government of standing back from the genocide, when the government hasn’t done any such thing yet, and even if it does, Serj is not the one who has the moral right to condemn it.
