This, in no way, takes turks off the hook!
The ottomans practiced an age-old tactic of using "minorities" against each other to help carry out their plans. Once Armenians had been dealt with, it was the turn of the kurds, the effects of which we still see to this day.
Unlike turcs/tatars, some kurdish groups appear to recognise & apologise for their participation in the Armenian Genocide.
The kurds are no more criminal than turcs, no less either.
