I had to do a double check on my history. What I said is correct but not “technically correct.”
The CUP which primarily consisted of The Young Turks was the organisation spearheading the Armenian genocide. They were also the organisation responsible for the Turkish revolution.
The genocide did technically happen under the Ottoman empire, but it was led by the CUP group who overthrew the empire.
Their primary group The Young Turks then conflated into the party of Ataturk which was responsible for secular Turkey.

Turks like that narrative, but the Armenian genocide honestly incorporates Hamidian massacres and many other massacres before.
