yes indeed they did, but as usual, the Americans have or a short memory, or a lack of decent history education, because: what they are referring to, happened under Ottoman reigning, and ottoman reigning in those days, was far more mixed nationalities than just the today turks! Today Turks cannot help it that they inhabit the actual territories of the old ottoman empire.... Anyhow, what's the use of keeping stirring things up??? And are the USA forgetting the importance of Turkey for NATO boundaries?
I cannot understand what the americans are hoping to gain from this stirring (they always have a hidden agenda, wonder what this one is. Well, it cannot be oil this time)
