Re: Can Turkey Learn Tolerance?
Simply acknowledging the Armenian Genocide doesn't mean you stop being racist, you need more than simply Genocide recognition, but a change of ideas and opinions. It is true there are Turks that recognize the genocide and want a better Turkey that isn't racist or negative to its citizens and its neighbours.
Unfortunately most Turks are not like that, in the same way that most Germans used to support Hitler or Nazism the Turks have not yet broken free of idol worshipping Ataturk and the "Turkish Republic". Till that happens Turkey as a nation can only be regarded as racist or negative to itself and its neighbours, with dissidents and freedom fighters within that oppose this.
