Perhaps some of the suspicion surrounding the matter is a consequence of Turkey's continuing official denial of the Armenian genocide conducted by founding members of the current regime. The New Yorker published an article recently, which may be read at http://www.newyorker.com/critics/content/articles/061106c... .
(Americans are directly familiar with the genocidal impulse, the U.S. having conducted its own campaign of extermination throughout most of the 19th century. We have been obliged, as a result of our constitutional freedoms, to own up to it, if not actually to make any sort of commensurate restitution. For an easy tour, see "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James W. Loewen; http://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Everything/dp/... )
