''Non-Muslim'' and ''non-Turkish'' inhabitants should either be forcibly islamized, or otherwise they ought to be destroyed. The Turks deny that they ever had this view on life.
To date, only 21 countries have officially recognized the massacres of Armenians committed by Ottoman Empire between 1915-1923 as genocide.
Turkey locked the ugliest parts of its past out of sight, Soviet-style, keeping any mention of the events out of schoolbooks and official narratives in an aggressive campaign of forgetting.
The state feels the need to defend itself. Last summer, a propaganda film about the Armenians made by the Turkish military was distributed to primary schools. After a public outcry, it was stopped.
The first, ugliest genocide pinned the young Turkish government against non-Turks and non-Muslims.
