It happened so, that Turkey says something and does something completely different, but always acts according to its own interests, never taking into consideration the point of view of its strategic partners; i.e. the USA and Israel. However it is more appropriate to call these countries "strategic partners", since Ankara's conduct towards these countries already exceeds the limits of simple cooperation. For pressure on its partners Turkey has chosen a very handy target; the Armenian Genocide committed in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 - 1923.
