Turks need to face the truth & stop lying to themselves.

Turkey could potentially open up a great chapter in its relations with the Armenian people by recognising the genocide.

Before we jump to conclusions, first we need to hear both sides of the story before believing anything. From what I heard, the Turks challenged the Armenians to bring archives or any historical documents proving that the Armenians being targeted was sanctioned by the Ottoman authorities. According to Turkish view, no evidence of any Ottoman decree of the Armenian genocide. They (The Turks) also bring reasons such as exaggeration of the Numbers killed and allegedly, one of the Ottoman officials who was accused of taking part in it was proven innocent in the international court which lowers Armenian credibility. I'm not an expert in this as I don't know but if you are interested than you should do your research.

My response: I don't know why people think the Ottoman empire was a "Turkish" empire? The Ottoman empire was a Muslim empire with multiple different Ethnic groups and Turkish "Nationalism" never existed. The Sultans only cared about Islam, they couldn't care about Turkish "nationalism" and saw all Muslims as equal. Turkish nationalism was first brought by the corrupt political party called The Young Turks who were secular and hated Islam and it's laws and further destroyed the empire. The Young Turks are the reason why Turks today are liberal/secular and their society is far away from Islamic values.
