A rule of diplomacy should be to confront your ally's delusions, not affirm them

Why Turks Suspect The Worst of the West is simply because we officially back the denial of the Armenian Genocide and the declaration of an oppressed Kurdish minority as terrorists to placate an irrational ally. Barack Obama as Senator and Presidential Candidate freely declared that the Armenian Genocide happened, yet as President he denies it.  Its not trustworthy.  A rule of diplomacy should be to confront your ally's delusions, not affirm them.
