For the second year in a row, Obama avoids the term being pushed by Armenian American groups and their congressional allies as he marks the day of remembrance of the 1915 killings by Ottoman Turks. Despite pressure from activists and lawmakers, President Obama on Saturday again refused to declare the 1915 mass killings of Armenians a genocide.
