On the other hand, the assumption that Turkey would gamble on the air base Incirlik was justified even without the resolution. If you add to this also the "threat" to freeze normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, it becomes clear that Ankara goes for broke, realizing that every year the imputation of genocide is going to become more evident.
