Pope sparks row with Turkey by calling Armenian massacre genocide

There's a lot of things to hate Turkey over (the recent cowardliness in taking on ISIS for one), but the Armenian genocide is now in essentially no one's lifetime.

True, but the comment was about history, which is true. Turkey is trying to deny it happened and stop the Pope from commenting on history.

If you need something more current and in our lifetime, look to the Turkish treatment of the Kurds. Not as bad as Armenians, but still on par.

I thought the Pope was just stating a fact, unpalatable to some maybe, but still just a fact. Time to move on?

I'm glad he mentioned it. Turkey is trying to deny it and hoping it would be swept into the dustbins of history. It shouldn't be forgotten.
