I’m pretty sure this is why Turkey cannot admit the facts of the Armenian Genocide. They would have a lot to lose.
“Though the U.S. cannot make Turkey answerable, nevertheless, a U.S. court may rule that Turkey has violated international law,” noted Shakaryan, adding that Turkey is seriously frightened of the lawsuit launch and did not expect the Armenian Diaspora to take certain steps.

Now this is interesting – I wonder why Iran is able to recognize the Armenian Genocide? What kind of politics is going on here? This has made me very curious and I need to do some reading and researching to find out. Any ideas, let me know.
Commenting on Vice Presidents’ recognizing the Ottoman Government’s massacre of a certain number of Armenians as Genocide, Manoyan stated, “Though Iranian parliament never adopted a resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide, Iran never denied the fact.”
