re: #414 Dr Lizardo

I’ve always chalked it up to some misplaced sense of pride. A good example; the Turks and the Armenian Genocide.

A lot of Turks will say - and have said quite openly - that admitting to having committed genocide against the Armenians is tantamount to admitting to being monsters, and their sense of national (or ethnic) pride will simply not allow them to do that.

Yet, of course, the Germans apologized for their genocidal atrocities in WWII - and those Turks who deny the Armenian Genocide usually strain to find an answer for why they shouldn’t.

Sort of a no True Scotmsan? I actually have to give the German people credit for how they deal with the Holocaust. The Turks and Japanese could learn from them. And honestly we could we Americans in regards to the treatment of Native Americans and Blacks.
