Hellektor -
I stand by what I said. I do not at all buy your characterization of Pan Turkism having anything to do with Jews except that some of the Turks were Jewish - however they were clearly acting as Turks and their religious affiliation did not come into play. Likewise I don't at all see being able to say "Jews" had a part in the Armenian Genocide any more then someone might claim (and they do) that Armenians had a role in the Holocaust because some Armenians happened to have joined the Nazi party or joined the German military in whatever capacity. So yes - to blame Jews is an untruthful generalization. By doing so you obscure the real causes of the Genocide by putting up this false Jewish/Zionist agenda that never existed in this context.
