This is again one of those things where I feel we let the media paint it as a bigger thing than it is. Several countries have taken steps like this regarding the Armenian Genocide. I believe the Kemalists are playing this up to fearmonger about "foreign enemies" to their own population, to keep them from discussing real, domestic issues (and to make discussing the Armenian Genocide seem like a grand "foreign conspiracy", thus making domestic discussion of it less likely). Dissent regarding the Kemalist narrative about the Armenian Genocide should come from the Turkish left, as this has always been the most effective source of pressure against the Kemalist government.
Also, I hate to see Kurds thinking about the Armenian Genocide. Because although Armenians are people and I do feel some sympathy for them while I'm in Turkey, it also makes me angry to see the difference between how Kurds and Armenians are treated by Turkish civil society. I have met many Turkish liberals who are only too happy to hug an Armenian, but who still look down their noses at the Kurds, not in defense of the government, but simply because of a feeling of superiority. Of course it was terrible to be a Christian at the fall of the Ottoman Empire, but today it is easier to be an Armenian than a Kurd. You will see books on how to speak Armenian in Turkish bookstores that won't carry books on Kurdish. Even the sort of Turks who disagreed with everything he said seem to view Hrant Dink as a "good Armenian", but view his Kurdish equivalents as "traitors", etc.
Obviously I have no problem with Turks who speak out for Kurds and Armenians, but Kurds should hold off on the Armenian love until Turkish civil society gives them as much respect as Armenians get.
