#1 "handed over 199 documents"

Linguistic mind-warp here. Kept on seeing this as meaning "gave more than 199 documents" and was gonna comment on the silliness of the sentence.

#2 This may seem silly but it does represent progress.

Turkish press now say 'so-called genocide' but 5 years ago they would have said, 'false claims of genocide' or else iced the topic altogether.

Turkey has a long way to go yet in coming to grips with the anti Armenian genocide (or as progressive Turks call it 'massacre') but the sooner they confront this demon the better.

#3 I wasn't aware that there were ANY questions about the validity of the Armenian Genocide. Geeze, what's next: Germans and Jews to Discuss So-Called Holocaust Claims.

Hummm, that COULD be a New York Times headline....
