MODERATORS
For the quote-spam, I have the following points:
a) Armenians were also sold in Arab states as slaves by Turks or Arabs. So, it wasn't necessarily a paradise for Armenians.
b) Fighting against Ottomans do not imply that Turks were refused/expelled for the genocide - this fighting was due to Arab nationalism. So, your claim is invalid, unless you have concrete evidence to back them.
c) Turks have lived along for about a millennia, continuing to living even to this day in modern Arab states, and ironically, they still live in the three states you've mentioned. Sure, most of them were Arabicized, but they're still a considerably large minority.
d) there were no Arab states back then - with the earliest state being the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA) (1917-20) managed by the British, French and Arabs together. The Armenian genocide started at 1915 and ended around 1917. These are instances of people acting out of benevolence to protect an oppressed group. You cannot compare that with a bill of a modern country on the way to being a super-power in the 2060s.
If you want to resort to personal remarks, I could say the same about you being brainwashed enough that you want poor, under-privileged and homeless Indian citizens who happen to have lost their documents with no proof of their religion, be turned into stateless citizens. Or that you only care about a select few persecuted groups.
