Maybe recent history is all full of vagueries and in some far way place, happening to strange foreigners to you, but it isn't to everyone.

Living people?
Wouldn't it then be much more relevant to discuss the Armenian atrocities against Azerbaijanis less than 25 years ago in Nagorno-Karabakh?
...or the wave of murders by Armenian terrorist organizations ASALA and JCAG in the 1970s and 1980s in nearly two dozen countries? These include killings of Turkish diplomats and Western civilians, hostage takeovers, bombings in airports, and much more. Armenia celebrates these terrorists as heroes, grants them asylum, erects statues and monuments in their honor, and buries them in their national cemetery for heroes.
...or the Armenian-Nazi collaboration in WWII? Drastamat "Dro" Kanayan, leader of the Armenian legion in Nazi Germany, has a mausoleum built in his honor. Many of these Armenians were assigned by the Nazis to round up Jews and send them off to the concentration camps.
There were also well-documented massacres of Ottoman Muslims by Armenians both before and after the Ottoman government ordered for their relocations. Armenian revolutionary militias attempted to forge an ethnically and religiously homogenous nation (like today's Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh) by killing and driving out the majority Muslim population.
Don't you think a better explanation for the hatred seen today just stems from a false sense of victimhood and innocence?
