Recognition of Armenian Genocide causes Turkey to withdraw an Ambassador

I've been reading more about the Armenian/Turkey conflict, here's some points I want to bring up.

-First and foremost, I am pleased to note that the deportation and exile of the Armenians which we are discussing on this thread, did not happen on Sultan Abdul Hamid's watch.  Sultan Abdul Hamid represented Pan-Islam and was the last strong Khalifah with real power and authority to govern the Muslim world.  He was removed from office in 1908, when the Empire was in great decay.  Then, around five years after he was removed the mass deportation of the Armenians took place. 

-The same forces that in Turkey that brought about the removal of Sultan Abdul Hamid, are the same forces responsible for the Armenian deportation, they are Turkish nationals, and after the Turks had been cornered in on all sides by other nations and races, they naturally became very defensive.

-According to the articles I've read, the Armenians were only deported in the area's in which they were sabatoging and rebelling against the Ottoman's.  Infact, there was a document being promoted in America by some Armenian organizations in which they stated they were willing to lose half their population in order to fight for independance against the Turks.  The Turks fought to suppress that rebellian in the same way the Union fought against the South in the Civil War in America, it was a bloody war, with many deaths on both sides.

...biggest point I want to make is that this event did happen while the Pan-Islamic Khaliphate was in power in the Ottoman, but it was perpetrated by Turkish nationals who removed Sultan Abdul Hamid and afterward took power and control and eventually dissolved the Khaliphate alltogether.
