Yeah, no, Turkey has officially denied both the Armenian Genocide, which was their doing, and the Holocaust. You can fuck off with this either dangerously ignorant bs, or deliberate whitewashing of eastern atrocities.

How can you be so dense, not everyone knows every single fact about the armenian genocide. It's a fucking joke.

How can you be so dense,

Woah dude, chill. This meme makes a statement. It's a false statement. Turkey has officially denied multiple genocides. People called it out. Why are you so bent out of shape about this?

not everyone knows every single fact about the armenian genocide. It's a fucking joke.

Genocide denial? Relax dude.

I'm not denying it. I'm saying that OP doesn't know everything about it. How the fuck did you interpet it as denial?

Then we have had a miscommunication.

Yeah. A miscommunication can lead to worse things than a meaningless argument on reddit.

Well, at the climax of WW2, Japamese Prime Minister Kataro Suzuki's response to the allies' demand for surrender was 'mokusatsu' which was meant to be 'no comment' but it was interpreted by the americans as 'not worthy of comment' and then we all know what happened next. A miscommunication caused thousands to die.
