So the Armenian Genocide has been popping up over the news lately. Honestly, France and Turkey both need to cut it out.
1. The Armenian Genocide did happen, so stop denying it Turkey. Talaat Pasha even admitted that he was doing and he did not deny it. The only ones that were denying it was the Germans because that was their ally during World War I. Turkey you need to own up that it did happen, there is plenty of evidence. Obviously, the generations that are alive now cannot be punished for a crime that their forefathers committed.
2. France you helped draft the UN Human Rights and with this law you are going to violate the very thing that you help create. How in the world do you think that you are justified to make it illegal to deny the genocide. Their is always going to be people that do not believe that the genocide ever happen. You are denying their free speech and you are wrong for that. I am happy that Turkey has got relations to you, why are you continuing to try and punish those that do not believe it happen.
I think that both sides are coming at the Armenian Genocide wrong. Turkey needs to own up to it and France needs to not violate the right to free speech. I think that we need to remember the past so that we do not repeat acts of genocide. However, do not try to punish the current population for what occurred a century ago.
