Until the Turks recognize the Armenian Genocide and return the stolen lands and properties, no gesture by the Turks will be sufficient enough to pay for the crimes of their ancestors and the continued repression of minorities in a so called "secular and modern" Turkish Republic. If the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a true Muslim, he will return that which does not belong to the Turks and is considered "Haram" to keep, i.e. Western Armenia. This is the least a civilized Turkish head of state can do!
