Excellent analysis.
Why do the charges continue?
Well, Armenia was a "republic" in the USSR. The modern secular republic of Turkey was a staunch ally of the U.S. throughout the Cold War and a member of NATO. Turkey was an enemy of the USSR. In my mind 2 + 2 = 4, i.e., the screams of genocide were amplified by Soviet distortions.
An industry has evolved.
I am reminded of the "civil rights" industry here -- but it goes all the way back to 1619 (the first slave arrives, I believe).
Good point. I believe a good authority on the Middle East is Bernard Lewis, Professor of Near Eastern Studies Emeritus at Princeton University. I have read his "The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror". He is also an authority on Turkey and wrote "The Emergence of Modern Turkey". I am going to look for a copy.
The Armenians also want land and reparations from Turkey. Russia has long held terratorial ambitions in the region. The plot thickens.
