Turkey denies genocide
April 13, 2015 - Turkey recalls ambassador. Pope Francis marked the 100th anniversary of the slaughter of Armenians by Ottoman Turks. Turkey immediately responded by recalling its ambassador and accusing Francis of spreading hatred and unfounded claims. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks. Turkey, however, denies a genocide took place.

I know an Armenian whose family fled the genocide in Turkey!
Turkey turns to Iran
April 13, 2015 - Turkey president Erdogan turned to Iran for stability. Turkey and Iran have been in a state of semi-war in Syria for 3 years, and this year in Yemen. Some claim its an attempt to stop the killings in Syria and Yemen as the main motive for Erdogan’s visit to Iran.
Turks have elected him but don’t really like him. Erdogan still bullies Greece and Cyprus over their discovery of gas in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Erdogan has favored ISIS and Hamas. So the contemptable being is pretty isolated. So Persia (Iran) is a lifeline for Turkey.
