the reason behind turky's denial is a slew of things : Reperation & Restoration (though they dont have to, after they admitt, the worlds great powers will be forced by thier population to make turkey pay up) (much like the americans did with native americans, germans and jews with the creation of Isreal, and the ukraines under stalin)...also what turk (or any other citizen of another country in this situation) whats to give all this and thier ancestors bloody past comes alive when for 90 years they have been taught that such genocide never happened and the armenians are terrorists that got what was coming to them, they were taught this in thier schools and local news...it would be like waking up and finding out that america is a communist nation
