>>To the West, there may be a good reason for a diversified approach (i.e. double standards), depending who was the Turkey allied with in different times.<<

Well, Turkey was allied with Germany in WWI as I recall. Later on a man called Adolf Hitler started another holocaust and observed (correctly) when challenged on how history would judge, that a generation later nobody remembered the Armenian slaughter. Then there was a fellow called Winston Churchill who thought it was an excellent idea to use poison gas on those pesky kurds. Just like that horrible Saddam. And there was another hero called "Bomber Harris" who arranged fire-bombing of German cities and was proud of the most ghastly and calculated civilian massacre on record- mostly women, children and elderly. A record which has since been gleefully claimed by the heroes of Stalist Russia, Cambodia and other friendly states with whom our industries are slavering to trade.

How cool we are to maintain such a sensitive, "diversified" memory as you put it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
