Here is a fact for you:

Turkey, directly and indirectly, killed over a million Armenians, a genocide of the clearest definition, but won’t admit it.

Over 100 years ago. I suppose you also believe I'm responsible for slavery and should pay reparations, because I live in the South.

The Turks don't consider it to be a genocide. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan statrf, “We regard the statement concerning the 1915 events as an interpretation of history that does not reflect the truth and is thus unacceptable. We are saddened that the issue is being persistently exploited and many politicians are trying to win votes out of the controversy over the 1915 events. Turkey is not a country that can be flattered and then fooled.” Whilst Turkish President Abdullah Gül claimed, “Hundreds of thousand of Turks and Muslims also died in 1915. Everyone’s pain must be shared.”
