On my California Tax forms, every year until this one, there was something about Armenian Reparations. I can't remember if it was a credit, a deduction or what because my mind is old and fuzzy. And I'm too lazy to look at my old tax returns right now.

Oh, and a couple of my dad's best friends were Armenian. I never heard any stories about their lives before they came to the U.S. I was just a child.

Probably wasn't a good look when the Turkish security forces beat up cops and kicked demonstrators in the face in DC because Edrogan was upset about it.

What stuns me is that Israel refuses to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. Individual Israeli leaders have acknowledged it, but the state refuses to do so officially, even now, under Erdogan, as Turkey ceases to be a reliable buffer against enemies in the region.

I understand the rationale, and it has some weight. But Erdogan is changing the rules day by day.

National pride gets in the way of admitting any wrong doing. Japan has long refused to acknowledge the atrocities it committed in WW II.

And if Turkey hadn’t long be a strategic geopolitical ally, the US could have openly acknowledged the Armenian genocide without fearing blowback ages ago.

Well, except Biff. If he’d been asked, Biff probably would have said that the Armenian genocide just showed what strong leaders Turkey had in 1915.
