Turkey will admit it only if France admits that they are a bunch of liars who are ALL cowards and that the Armenians are traitors to their flag! Armenians were not massacred, they lived under the same Turkish flag as all the other 70 etniticities that the Ottoman empire accepted into the country as being its own citizens…Armenians chose to side with the enemy and ended up losing..they are ALL traitors ..Sarkozy needs to do a history lesson ASAP!
