Technology you say ? Yes that's quite possible and then some. Look at our present day's armies, and their wishing to use every excuse to use that technology of new 'toy arments', etc. Who among the modern army does not have blood on their hands, and using these issues to cover their crimes. How about those using phosphorous on civilians and only after they have been forced to leave the given area, then express, that they have used this on civilians, etc. That's no excuse by any means !
But in the genocide of the Armenians, old methods of murder was and were rampant, and no new technology was needed, and even that was not done quickly enough for the Turks. Modern technology however was used by the German Nazis, and ideas galore of how to use mass murder by the very best means.
Forgive history ? One cannot forgive, until one acknowledges their heinous crimes against humanity, in full, and the genocide of the Armenians have not been acknowledged to date. The Nazis did this only partially of acknowledging, but that was because they were brought to trial, and paid heavily for their crimes. The Turks, never did acknoledge, and neither were they brought to justice, as a nation.
Still to this day, neither from their lips do the words of atonment, or I am guilty flo. We have yet to hear that directed to the Armenian nation and peoples, as was offered to the Jews and others who lost their lives in WWII.
The American Indians are still awaiting for the countless Indian tribes that were wiped out by those who invaded their lands, but neither can forgiveness be offered till there is complete acknowledgment....
Now the question is, how were the German Nazis made to pay back for land, monies, etc, that were lost to those of the WWII Holocaust, and also pay for their crimes against humanity, when the American Indians and the Armenians have yet to be considered in their extensive losses to date ?
I think perspective has a lot to offer, and questions yet to be answered. I don't think you have quite covered everything in such a neat tyed up package.
