I think that's fair. There were definitely purges of Turkish and other European Muslims at the time, and they should be acknowledged. On a related note, I have a friend who is Serbian and he claims there were Bosnian atrocities against Serbs during the civil war that nobody hears about. Still, I would point out that, just as in the Bosnian war, the scale of atrocities was a lot worse on the side that is more remembered. Over a million Armenians and other minorities were systematically raped, murdered, and purged at the behest of Ottoman authorities. It's unclear to me why Turkey does not want to acknowledge this. You can still appreciate your country while recognizing that people in the past did some pretty bad things. The world is a complicated place.
