I want to know what will this recognition does to your own country both in short and long term. Will Turkey pay a fee for the genocide or will they have to just give up from Ağrı?

This subject was always used against Turkey in political confrontations for years. Turkey has been better and stronger ally to USA. This recognition is nothing but a political warning against Erdoğan and his latest actions against USA and also this will make Armenian residents in USA happy.

IMHO nothing will change for us (Turkish and Armenian folks living in Turkey), don’t know about Armenians living in Armenia.

So why are you happy?

Because I don’t care if I come from country X, atrocities all around the world have been committed, and still being committed. People have to be responsible for this suffering, we shouldn’t be able to shout “Fake News!” to everything and get away with it.

I think people need another 100 years to forget about it. It's just a toy in the hands of politicians. And now they choose to use it against Turkey. Some day this whole thing will be forgotten.

Nobody living today are responsible or should be responsible for it.

That's what baffles me. If no one today is responsible, why does the present Turkish state deny the facts? My take is, because they are fine with the genocide and do not wish to denounce it, the first step of which is admitting it happened. The authoritarian nature of the Turkish state is nothing new and taking away glory from the imperialism of the past will hurt the legitimacy of their future plans.

It doesn’t work that way though, Turkey took over debts of Ottoman Empire for a reason, this is the same.
