Thanks for the further information!
It's not that I don't think the genocide of Armenians, as well as other Christians resident in Turkey, during the relevant period, was not a terrible tragedy. It's just that it's frustrating to me to have the bickering over terms when we know that (1) nothing can be done to bring these folks back, and (2) nothing is likely to be done to prevent similar atrocities against vulnerable populations in the future.
It's just a performance to make people who don't really give a hoot (e.g., the entire MSM, unless an individual journalist happens to be Armenian) feel righteous.
