Do you have reliable sources that the army of the modern Republic of Turkey founded in 1923 was “behind the genocide of the Armenians?”

The Army of the Republic of 1923 was not behind the Armenian genocide. The genocide was under the Ottoman Empire.
If I misspoke, I stand corrected, however, the Army has a history of persecuting Kurds and other non-Turkish minorities.
