A pretty fair number of Americans would be in sad agreement with Erdogan's classification, so no real change there. My understanding is that most Germans acknowledge the Holocaust in the same way. It's only Turkey which seems to have real problems with its genocide, which is especially odd since it wasn't the Republic of Turkey which was responsible, since that didn't exist yet, but the now long-expired Ottoman Empire.

Erdoğan may be the same sort of revanchist that Putin and Xi would like to be on this point. There are things all three want to get away with in the here-and-now, and making genocide non-denounceable may well be among them.
