You bring a good point to the thread about sins of the father, although you might not have realised it.

The Armenian government claims that the Turkish government is responsible for the Armenian genocide, although the Turkish republic (and it's government) didn't exist at the time. This is a bit like blaming the US for atrocities committed by the republic of Texas in California.

The decision about censoring the Armenian genocide is purely political and saddens me, but it's more to do with geopolitics than history.

The Pakistani government couldn't argue that, but Japan and most every other country ("It was a previous government, doesn't reflect us as a country at all"). It isn't that simple, sadly.
