I doubt if I’ve revealed more than I intended. I’ve said essentially the same thing here several times before.

I was opposed to this 25 years ago when alienating an ally over something done by their grandparents seemed silly.

Turkey has lost its secularization and is biting the Islamist creed as government policy today. I could care less if we make some offending statement about their grandparents today.

But. There are geopolitical considerations. Incirlik is still an important base. And the people we would rightfully accuse of murder are long dead.

In all considerations, truth has to come first.

Calling Turkey, or Greece allies has always been based in delusion. Of course Armenia is also of little reverence as a nation, but Armenian immigrants have been reliable citizens, and insulting them is folly.
