I don’t get what Turkey has to lose by doing this. This is no different than Germany acknowledging that the previous government perpetrated the Holocaust.

The Turkish Republic resists calling the Armenian Genocide what it was because its founding continued the policy of mass murder against Christians. Read a history of the Rape of Smyrna: during the Second Greco-Turkish War, the Christian populace of the city of Smyrna was murdered or driven to flee in boats by the followers of the “secular” Ataturk, who had arrange with Western “Christian” powers that their naval vessels off the coast would not rescue Christians fleeing the city. Only a Japanese warship rescued any of the Greeks fleeing the city, for which reason when Greece declared war on Nazi Germany and Italy, during WW II, they did not also declare war on Japan as did all other allied powers.
