I think we’ve hesitated to talk about the Armenian (and Assyrian) genocide because during the Cold War we were concerned about offending the Turks. But those days are over. At one time the Turks were one of the few Muslim countries to be on good terms with Israel, which may account for any hesitance on their part. But again, those days are over.
It was a terrible slaughter for which the Turks have never been willing to recognize and too many people have been afraid to hold them to account. And sadly we have to recognize that genocide is not an aberration but a continuing feature of Islam. It continues to happen in the here and now right in front of our eyes.
Mainly because it may tie back to the Turk national hero - Ataturk. Who incidently was an atheist, completely unsympathetic with Islam*. He did make an interesting statement regarding Christianity. Paraphrasiing quote - he wishes his people were Christian They would be easier to govern.
* The Turks have a hard time squaring that circle now considering they have an Islamist government.
