This is really fascinating development.Over the years Turkey have opened it's records and libraries for unbiased international observes and Armenians to come do a fact finding together.However, know one has taken up the offer.By the way since the "genocide" over 30 Turkish diplomats and their families have been assassinated by Armenian militants around the world.

Interesting how Turkey has Israel by the balls when it comes to the subject of Genocides, since Israel does not recognise the Armenian Genocide, but Turkey recognises the Holocaust.

I don't know if it's true or not but if it is true why did it take them so long to recognise it it can be politically motivated.
Friendly countries, both countries have had mutual relations ever since Israel got its independence.
"Good friends make big bank accounts" as the French saying. They need each other, and respect despite their differences.

If the U.S is mad at you, you must be doing something right.

Biden expected to recognize massacre of Armenians as genocide - sources
U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to formally recognize the massacre of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War One as an act of genocide, sources said on Wednesday, a move likely to infuriate Turkey and further strain already frayed ties between the two NATO allies.
The move would be largely symbolic but would mean breaking away from decades of carefully calibrated language from the White House and come at a time when Ankara and Washington are already at loggerheads over a string of issues.
Biden is likely going to use the word "genocide" as part of a statement on April 24 when annual commemorations for the victims are held around the world, three sources familiar with the matter said.
My understanding is that he took the decision and will use the word genocide in his statement on Saturday," said a source familiar with the matter. Sources cautioned that given the importance of bilateral ties with Turkey, Biden may still choose not to use the term at the last minute.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday told reporters the White House would likely have "more to say" about the issue on Saturday, but declined to elaborate.
The State Department referred queries on the issue to the White House and National Security Council had no comment beyond what Psaki said.
ATROCITIES
A year ago, while still a presidential candidate, Biden commemorated the 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children who lost their lives in the final years of the Ottoman Empire and said he would back efforts to recognize those killings as a genocide.
"Today, we remember the atrocities faced by the Armenian people in the Metz Yeghern — the Armenian Genocide. If elected, I pledge to support a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide and will make universal human rights a top priority," he said on Twitter at the time.
Turkey accepts that many Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire were killed in clashes with Ottoman forces during World War One, but contests the figures and denies the killings were systematically orchestrated and constitute a genocide.
For decades, measures recognizing the Armenian genocide stalled in the U.S. Congress and U.S. presidents have refrained from calling it that, stymied by concerns about relations with Turkey and intense lobbying by Ankara.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had established a close bond with former U.S. President Donald Trump, but he has yet to speak to Biden since he became president on Jan. 20.
While Turkish and U.S. officials have held talks since then, the Biden administration has stepped up pressure on Turkey by frequently expressing its discontent over Ankara's human rights track record, and the gap between the two sides over a host of issues including Turkey's purchase of Russian weapons systems and policy differences in Syria remains.
Any move by Biden to recognize the mass killings as a genocide will further harm already strained ties between the NATO allies, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday. read more
Erdogan discussed the issue with his High Consultations Council, his office said on Thursday.
"Our President has stated that they will continue to defend truths against the so-called Armenian genocide lie and those who support this slander with political motivations," it said
Ian Bremmer, founder of the Eurasia Group research and consulting firm, said Biden's expected move reflected the deteriorating relationship between the NATO allies, but Erdogan's response would likely be limited.
"Erdogan is ... unlikely to provoke the U.S. with actions that could further undermine Turkey’s weak economy," he said.
In 2019, the U.S. Senate passed a non-binding resolution recognizing the killings as a genocide, in a historic move that deeply angered Turkey.
Representative Adam Schiff and a group of 100 bipartisan lawmakers sent a letter to Biden this week urging him to follow through on his campaign pledge and "right decades of wrongs."

sleepy joe back at it again first it was Putin he criticized then threatened Kim jung un Now turkey especially at Erdogan
Biden campaigned to overthrow Erdogan. This is nothing compared to what he actually wants.
mobile.reuters.com
Turkey is getting too powerful for their likening. Erdogan solidified his grip in the region. He convinced Dumb Trump to retreat from Syria which turned into Turkish and Russian playfield. He has Russia by the balls due to the gass pipelines. He was bombarding Russia's main ally in the region, Armenia, back to the middle ages and Putin couldn't say anything let alone do anything.
Biden wants to bring back the Iran deal in which Turkey will be the biggest benefactor. Erdogan placed his cards well.
Turkey slams Biden's past call for U.S. to back Erdogan opponents
Turkey on Saturday condemned as "interventionist" comments that U.S. Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden had made in December when he advocated a new U.S. approach to the "autocrat" President Tayyip Erdogan and support for opposition parties.

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
An inspired Adolf Hitler, August 22, 1939.

He also had a hard-on for the what the Americans did to their natives. Manifest destiny and all that.
The huge difference is that they admit to it, take full responsibility for it, educate future generations about it so it doesn't happen again, allow them self governance and assist them with resources, and have been improving their relationship with the Indigenous since then.
Lol the Americans built the keystone pipeline over scared Sioux land just a couple years ago. They don't give af.
They do actually downplay and hide a lot of what they did and everyone knows they largely treat natives like shit. An alarming percentage of them are depressed junkies and alcoholics with no prospects in life and it's not entirely their faults.
