You must be mistaken, clearly only Turkey gets criticized like this!
Speaking of acknowledging the genocide: it was already described by English, US and German media - among others - back in 1915-1918 when it was taking place (notice the German allies describing it).The first country to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide was Uruguay.
Me, when the President of Turkey calls for a cooperation of nations multiple times to analyze archives but Armenia and the West do not move a single muscle apart from to say "Armenian Genocide Happened":

Like without any authentic sources, imma use logic here: Even if Turkey or Armenia would want to cheat here, I am pretty certain that professionals from other countries could make sure of the authenticity of the documents presented by said countries archives.
Like this can't be so hard, can it? If the Armenian "genocide" was absolutely certain before, why did other countries just adopt recently a clause, aknowledging the fact that it was indeed a "genocide", if not for political reasons to corner the current Turkish regime? If other countries start trying to bully you when you actually become stronger, than you know it is fake. The West does not like Turkey. I bet it was not useful to them before and not worth their time working on a fictional "genocide".
There is footage of Turks being killed and (BBC) deported in Cyprus and at least (BBC) deported from Bulgaria, but who cares, right? Those are nothing. I am not doing whataboutism here. You just need to stop shoving your Western bull**** in our faces. In world politics, self-interested and lying is common place (- and yes, it could even be your country who is bad. Shockers.)
Those pesky Turks..
I think you should search your own historyMe, when the President of Turkey calls for help from EU and NATO at the same time unleashing thousands of refugees onto Greek borders as well as continuing the illegitimate invasion of Syria. The reason? - He want legitimacy for his political agenda in his own country. You'd be naive if you think words mean more than action. Fact is the action that was taken by the Turkish regime was to make it illegal to agree to the atrocities against Armenians. Input the saying; ''action speaks louder than words'' here.
Yes, I have been able to search my countries' own history. History being the key word. Whatever bad stuff my country has done lies in the past, it's been recognised and dealt with, unlike Turkeys incapability to recognise it's own bad history, and current misbehavior.I think you should search your own history

Only the magical land of sunshines and rainbows has not done any wrong and even then, only Mr Rodgers lives there.Yes maybe Turkey was doing bad things, but why
the only people in Turkey (and Germany) Did he make the bad things?
Pride, prejudice and propaganda;Wait there is actually people who believe the Armenain Genocide did't happen? That is like saying that the US did't genocide the Native Americans and other examples, but why do people deny historical events that have clearly happened?
Pride, prejudice and propaganda;
Many turks, especially in their early history, have had a strong prejudice against the peoples of other ethnicity and religion. Racism towards armenians is still a fact of life in modern turkish culture. The armenians are often blamed for the failings of the turkish people.
The turkish state actively alters the history books as well as evidence of the genocide. It is against the law to acknowledge a genocide took place. The turkish people is thus being mislead about the truth of the matter.
All of those fuel each other and reinforce the belief that no genocide happened. At best, they may be telling you there was a great massacre or that there was a civil war which and that there were also ottoman casualties and the armenians saw it coming for attacking the ottomans.
You are aware that Turks are the traditional boogieman in Europe. Are you not?It's funny because "thinking different from the majority" doesn't really count when the rest of the world generally agrees something happened and there's a tiny minority which denies it. I can bring in the Holocaust denial comparison again if you'd like, I don't think anyone's been able to adequately respond to that one.
And yeah that propaganda gets attention, at least from the people who bother to check up on Turkey because it's largely irrelevant to most of the world, as a joke. It's pretty funny too.

I wonder whether your tv channels are showing how Armenia is firing russian missiles at civilians or not. That country is rotten.
