Hey now, the disgraced downfall of the ottomans is responsable for many more things than that! The situation in Palestine, the Saudi Kingdom (and thus, 9/11) , the yugoslav wars, etc etc.
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.
It was a mistake the Armenians and Kurds paid dearly for.
