"Ungrateful...". ruled by an oppressive regime, 2nd class status in every way, no participation in government. You are in denial. Kindly consider reading Taner Akcam's book "A Shameful Act," one of the best documented sources derived from the Ottoman archives , and documents and archives in France, Germany and the US. It's about as good as it gets.
"No mass graves" That's an easily proven lie, documented thoroughly throughout the book.
Scholars in Turkey have been gradually willing to take another look at the evidence. This is progress. Is Akcam a self-loathing Turk? Or someone who can face the truth and not take it as a personal insult to his country? I think that's what drives the denial, this sense of being judged in some ultimate sense. But we are not talking about inferior or superior races. To the contrary, as Akcam writes, "...every group is inherently capable of violence" and can easily happen anywhere "when the right conditions arise....There are no exceptions."
To the contrary, when a country or a government fesses up to its past - as Germany has done - it receives greater respect, not less.
