Can you explain why you chose to name your news show after a Turkish nationalist movement that was responsible for killing and forcibly displacing millions of Armenians? The Young Turks were the catalyst for Turkey's political modernization and bringing forth a feeling of a national Turkish (Muslim) identity, but you can say the same towards the Nazis. The Nazis did a lot of good (major economic growth and a strong/proud German identity) for Germany and Germans in Europe, but they're remembered for the atrocities they committed before and during WWII. It's disgusting that you associate yourself with this political movement that is solely Turkish and not shared by any other countries history and responsible for crimes against humanity and genocide. Even if you argue "atrocities" or "massacres" in the place of the WORD "genocide" then you can hide behind your ignorance in the face of truth. However, it does not excuse the fact you named your news show after a Turkish political movement that was responsible for a substantial amount of ethnic strife which led to massacres and yes genocide.
