The United States should care about honoring the suffering of people who were butchered for who they were and what they believed, especially since the United States is a country founded by people who fled the Old World specifically because of ethnic and religious persecution -- just like what the Armenian, Pontic Greek, and Assyrian people suffered in the Ottoman-led genocide.
Additionally, US Recognition of the genocide may force Turkey to become more introspective about its consistent denial of this unfathomable crime.

Why did people go to jail for talking about the Armenian Genocide?
It is ILLEGAL to speak about the Armenian Genocide in Turkey (most of Turkey was formerly Armenian homeland) because: 1. It is against Turkish Nationalistic policy to talk against Turkey - in other words if you talk against Turkey it is seen as high treason and you will be punished to the full extent of the law. 2. They deny there was ever a genocide so that they don't have any responsibility to reimburse any of the Armenian losses that occurred as a result of their forcibly removing them from their homeland and taking their possessions or enabling hardened Turkish criminals they put in charge of handling the "armenian problem". One of the most famous Armenian journalists and newspaper publishers, Hrant Dink was assassinated in full view and in broad daylight in Turkey (formerly Armenia) where his office was, on his way in to work. Instead of punishing the shooter as any civilized democratic country's government would have done - they hailed him as a HERO. The only reason why the United States has not FORCED Turkey to acknowledge the case of Genocide is because we have military bases there for strategic location and neither this president nor any of the former ones want to "rock the boat". So, whilst we are on US land, the US acknowledges it - but don't ask them to force Turkey to recognize their atrocities - they just will not do it and have openly threatened the US a couple of years ago when they were being strong-armed by the United Nations into admitting it.
