I see a lot of support from the western world for the Armenian genocide, particularly pressure towards Turkey to recognize the atrocities. And I heartily support that. However Greece is also claiming reparations due to atrocities, but everyone is against that. I want some discussion and I would like to reply first to these points:

"Greece is rekindling old grievances". The Armenian genocide happened in 1915, the WW2 in 1940-45.

"Armenia only asks for recognition" There are multiple Armenian organizations that are requesting financial reparations from Turkey.

"Germany was a different country/goverment" So it was Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire. According to International Law, the modern German state is in the same situation.

"Greeks do it just for the money" Well yeah, but that doesn't change the legal similarities.

I think the West, particularly Europeans, support the one but condemn the other, because Turkey is treated as an outsider, while Germany is held in the greater standards, but also will create a precedent where Europe has to acknowledge they are also at fault when it come to financial obligations (which accuse Greece).

I respectfully ask to CMV.
