Could you explain what you mean?
I didn’t word that correctly. What I meant was in the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40’s, etc. through today, there has always been a reason for not recognizing the genocide. That’s why I’m extremely skeptical of the latest reason, that being about protecting our troops in Iraq.
Suffice to say, Turkey has spent millions lobbying against genocide recognition all along. Why, I don’t know. If they had simply acknowledged it decades ago, just as Germany acknowledged the Holocaust, it would have been dropped and left as past history.
