Any Armenians here commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks during WWI?
The continued denial by Turkey and non-recognition by some countries is just sad.

Just like the US's lenient treatment of Japan post-WWII, it's all about current alliances against a current enemy.

Turkey is on borrowed time. They can't hide the truth much longer.

Unfortunately some countries (like ours) find the truth to be very inconvenient to their short term political and financial advantages. Its a very shortsighted policy. They don't realize that Genocide recognition and justice only leads to good for all concerned. And it prevents future genocides.
