many leading Ottomans were not Turks, but Greeks, Serbian, Armenian, Venetian, Hungarian. The Ottoman admiral Turgut Reis was a Greek convert to Islam. 
The ottomans did terrible things, but the reality is more complex. How did they adminisiter such a big empire?
The Ottomans massacred 5,000 Armenians after the "Bank Ottoman" incident.
It was a catastrophe. A terrible atrocity against ordinary Armenians (many of them immigrants) who had nothing to do with revolutionaries and probably didn't even know they existed!
This tragedy should be commemorated (if Armenians care for each other...)
Instead a group of Armenians every year for the last 120 years celebrate this as a victory
