| I personaly don't think the whole issue is around the word "genocide" but to admit that something wrong and brutal was done, at certain time in that country against certain people.
Talking about Nazis, if you look at German TVs, there is seldom one week without at least one program showing WWii and Nazis and .... quite unbiased.
Such a thing is missing by countries like Turkey. Another example of sacrificing humanity for the sake of national pride.
Admitting past mistakes is the best step toward avoiding happening of similar things in the future. | |

You write with common sense. I agree with you but need to add one thing.
There has been a major terrorist campaign against Turkish foreign office members and also civilians by the Armenian terrorist organization Asala during the 70s and 80s. Asala was supported not only by Armenia and the diaspora but also by the Western countries. After the Orly airport attack, the French government decided to terminate Asala.
Most Asala terrorism took place in France or in French speaking cities such as Geneva. Terrorists then sought shelter from the French police.
We Turks need to reassess our own history for sure. But this should (and will only) happen within an objective environment.
