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.
