I don't think so. Excessive PC is something completely different. Like people getting offended that you call a native american an Indian or something like that. Denying the genocide is almost always done by extreme nationalist groups so I am all for taking from them an oppurtunity to speak their garbage.

Also I don't understand why Turkish government won't admit to it, the Germans did it and they have no problems now.
But the French idiots never admit that they had put Algerians in ovens. Can't they apply the same idea on themselves before going to interfer in others' business?

I love how Erdogan today reminded the idiot Sarkozy that his grandfather was under the protection of the Ottoman empire.

Not true. Armenians were Russian armed and trained and killed many thousands themselves. Jews were unarmed civilians.
From what I heard, it wasn't until 1915 that the Armenians decided to pick up arms & start shooting on the ottomans. The whole force moment & killing happen for quite some time.

Not true. The Armenians were one of the most prosperous trading communities in the Ottoman Empire

I thought they were getting taxed out the ass(Happens with every Millet of Ze Ottomans). Also, from reading about the whole situation, it's sound like mess of Jealousy, Nationalism, and whatever comes with Genocide.
