Personally, I don't wish harm to come to anyone over this. However, I would like to see those who brought it up, try and justify it, should:
a) The troops suffer because of it, or
b) Violence breaks out between Turks and Armenians
There is no reason to do this, besides political. Yes, it happened. Yes, it is probably not well known. I personally do not know if there is still Turk-Armenian tension, and people promoting violence between the groups. I would doubt it, at least on any big scale. Nothing is going to be made better by this, only worse.
Also, wasn't Turkey the Ottoman Empire during this time?
