Turkey is responsible for countless crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing against every national minority within its borders (in the Twentieth Century). Unlike virtually every other nation that committed such mass crimes in the Twentieth Century, Turkey seems intent on denying the crimes it has committed. I don't think that any "understanding" is necessary or that we should "applaud how far they've come" when they don't admit they have butchered Armenians and Kurds.
I believe Turkey is the only nation on earth where "insulting" the majority ethnicity is a crime. Considering how disgraceful and reprehensible the Turks have been and continue to be, perhaps they understand that there are a lot of insults that can be rightly aimed at them.
It's a dirty stinking excuse for a nation, propped up by lies, denial and murder.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

If Erdogan has no problem making scenes like the one in Davos why should he expect any less ?

How is denying the eponym's genocide improving relations with Armenia?

Modern Armenia looks at it rather differently than the diaspora does.

Whether motivated by religion or pure nationalism allowing genocide to be denied is a bad precedent.

It's been denied for eighty-five years. It can wait five more.

I agree. They just need to man up and admit it, apologize, and move on. *NM*
