It's been 101 years now since one the the most terrible tragedies in recent history, the Armenian Genocide. It's absolutely ridiculous and more so insulting that there are still countries (including the one I live in) that still turn a blind eye and refuse to acknowledge that it even happened. In fact, it's even illegal in Turkey to assert that the genocide occurred. Those who have tried to raise awareness have been regularly assassinated (most recent notable instance was Hrant Dink in 2007).
Germany committed the only bigger atrocity (by sheer numbers, not saying one is "better" or "worse"), but at least in they have made concerted efforts to move on. In contrast of the law I mentioned in Turkey, it is in fact illegal in Germany to assert the Holocaust never occurred.
Time heals wounds, but it's impossible to move on when the wrongdoing isn't even acknowledged.
