The article states that there was recent change in Turkey where the referring to the Armenian genocide is now longer a criminal offense " ... For nearly a century, the Turkish state has denied the Armenian genocide—until recently, you could be prosecuted even for referring to it—and so any inquiry into such things would have been fraught. ..." However, I cannot find a reference to the legislative change in Turkey. In fact, my search turns somewhat opposite direction a) Turkey's foreign ministry a year ago actively opposing Australian state-level recognition of the genocide (Austalia does not recognize it at federal level) http://theconversation.com/turkey-the-armenian-genocide-and-the-politics-of-memory-20747 http://theconversation.com/turkey-the-armenian-genocide-and-... b) Denying the Armenian genocide cannot be made in to a criminal offense.

But at a logical level, it seems that modern Turkey would not be held back from the world stage, by recognizing the tragic mistakes of the Ottoman Turkey of the past.
