In response to the comment by Karl Horberg, I think the significance in Turkey's insistent denial of the Armenian genocide is that it actually reflects its current policies and treatment of its ethnic minorities, such as the Kurds. The fact that those responsible for the genocide are not around to be affected by any prosecutions etc should make it easy for Turkey to admit this part of its history, except that this admission is likely to implicate the current regime in crimes against other groups. Is this the kind of regime the Obama administration should be supporting?
