It was a mistake the Armenians and Kurds paid dearly for.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That would seem a strange assertion considering that the Armenian genocide happened during WW1, rather than under Ataturk or the Turkish Republic. Equally strange is the notion that the Turkish Republic, specifically, was a loss for the Kurds compared to the alternatives - the pre-Republic Ottomans were happy to genocide them, and so were the Brits and French who carved up Ottoman land in the 1920s and 30s.

Hey now, the disgraced downfall of the ottomans is responsable for many more things than that! The situation in Palestine, the Saudi Kingdom (and thus, 9/11) , the yugoslav wars, etc etc.
