It is not a matter of "little" Armenia's "might" but rather the opportunity to attain a tool for bribing the Turks at wil and when necessary. Do people really believe that those who recognize the Armenian genocide are all of a sudden humanists who want to recognize human suffering? Or do they accept that these events are used as an instrument of bribery and coercion in the political arena? After all, the Ottoman Empire does not exist.
