WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is poised to formally recognize the Armenian genocide of the early 20th century, U.S. officials said, a rare step that would further inflame ties with Turkey.

Biden is expected to describe as genocide the deportation, starvation and massacres of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks beginning in 1915, the officials said.
