A video showing an Armenian activist talking to Vice-President Joe Biden was posted on YouTube earlier today. In the video, Biden says, “The Turks have to come to the realization of what the reality is,” Asbarez.com reported.
Biden also tells in the video that Armenian President called him and asked for U.S. not to recognize so called Armenian genocide during the negotiations between Turkey and Armenia over normalization of bilateral relations. PanArmenian.net reported today that Armenian President's Spokesman has refuted the statements of US Vice President Biden. "Armenian President could never say that recognition of the "Armenian genocide" may hamper normalization of relations with Turkey,” Spokesman said.

The full text of the dialogue between Vice President Biden and Armenian activist is as follows;
Armenian Activist: “I’m Armenian, and I want to thank you for the work you did in the Senate. I have a question. I am very involved in the Armenian American community and as you know we’ve been…”
Biden: “I know.”
Armenian Activist: “… we’ve been very, very burned. I want to know what is the message that we should be giving to our community?”
Biden: “What you should be giving to your community is that we are not backing off. The Turks have to come to the realization of what the reality is. And what we got to do is, you know, this, the compromise that was going on and being worked at for a while… Tell them that it was the ArmenianPresident that called me and said ‘Look, do not force this issue now, while we are in negotiations. We passed. That’s past right now.’ So anyway, reality has a way of intruding.”
