Good cop, bad cop...
So after Turkey's PM Erdogan blasted those who were apologizing for the Armenian Genocide, now the President has stepped in to defend them. I can't find much of his statement beyond his using the apology as proof that the subject can be discussed freely and democratically, which is of course not exactly an endorsement, but I'd like to see more of his statement. Meanwhile, the fact that everyone is watching to see whether these guys will be charged with insulting Turkishness shows just now free and democratic the environment is there. And how brave the signatories are.
