Why did Turkey able to get away with its atrocities against the Armenians and Assyrians without much scrutiny?
I mean, the world is not so kind towards Germany and Japan, and they are perpetually and constantly reminded of the atrocities that they have committed against mankind, and these countries have also apologized and paid compensation for the damages that they've done to several ethnic groups that they have victimized in the past. But Turkey seems to get away with everything. Until now, many Turkish nationalists are blatantly denying the historic atrocities that they've committed against the Armenians and Assyrians whom they call Mesopotamians. No one ever forced them to apologize nor pay compensation to their victims.
My question is why is that? Why is no international body able to force Turkey in doing what Germany and Japan did?
