U.S. President Joe Biden has frayed relations between Ankara and Washington “beyond repair” with his recent statement using the word “genocide” to describe the 1915 Armenian genocide by Turkey, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency argued Tuesday.
The Ottoman Empire enacted what is widely considered the first genocide of the modern world against Armenian, Assyrian Christian, and Greek populations in what is now Turkey.

With O’Biden weakening the US Military, your time frame might make sense. And include the economic element.

I’ll pass that along to anyone who tries to excuse it; I’ll be more analytical if in fact they are explaining it rather than excusing it.
