“Did they mention German failure to censure Turks for the Armenian and Greek holocausts while aiding the Ottomans?”

Given that German officers served as advisors to the Turks in the war, to assist them against their common enemies (Russia, Serbia), I wouldn’t expect Germany to hold anything against the Turks; these empires were fighting for their very survival, and they knew it (not a justification, but an explanation). The Crimean War was a precursor to the fight between Russia and Turkey (in which the British and French oddly enough were allied with the Turks), and the Turks were losing their grip on the Balkans as well.
