1 She didn’t deny the Armenian Genocide. She clearly implied it should be recognised, but not used as a tool in America’s growing animosity towards Turkey.
For people who pride themselves on seeing through American propaganda, Chapos somehow missed that this whole spat with Turkey was to enforce American control of its NATO allies. Turkey opposed the Iraq invasion, has sought to improve ties with Russia, and didn’t go along with America’s FSA->SDF switch. The US doesn’t give a shit about genocide or any of the actual bad things Erdogan has done. They do care if a Muslim nation aaserts independence and seeks regional leadership at America’s expense.
2 Ilhan did not call the Uighur camps Genocide. She said mass detention.
This is not hypocrisy. It’s two different takes on two different situations.
It’s a ongoing propaganda campaign, but it’s also a thing that’s happening.
If a Muslim woman is uncomfortable with an atheist state forcibly detaining Muslims and subjecting them to political indoctrination under the pretext of counter-terrorism, then let her have a little Twitter rant.
