Turkey summons US ambassador for formal protest over Biden's Armenia statement

Cypress said:
You are attempting to build a mountain out of a molehill.

Because Turkey and the Armenians continue to have a political rivalry, the Turkish government feels genetically compelled to resist any public acknowledgement of the massacres.

What you are witnessing now is a Kubuki dance of political posturing to satisfy domestic politics in Turkey.

Three months from now no one is going to be talking about Biden's statement, and Turkey will still be in NATO.

I realize Turkey favors Azerbaijan in their war with Armenia ( Nagorno-Karabakh war)
and like Turkey goes after the PKK there is always some domestic politics at play

However recalling an ambassador is much more then domestic politics

If it's such a "molehill" why is Biden getting into it?

There are a lot of "issues" that need to be resolved . this is just putting in artificial impediments

1. the trial of Turkish state-owned Halkbank for evading U.S. sanctions on Iran
2. Turkey's meddling in Libya civil war
3. the purchase of the S-400 from Russia
4. status of the Kurds, and the Syrian border war

Why do you oppose the US recognizing the Armenian Genocide. I know you are a troll and refuse to be honest, but why not step up and stop being a coward?

Congress already did it. No reason (it's counterproductive) for Biden to get in on it.
Biden has to negotiate issues. Same with Russia and calling Putin a killer -needless posturing

Non-answer. I'll leave you alone. Clearly you support Turkey lying about their guilt.
