Well bb, I tend to agree with you on this one. Although most of the world agrees that the Turks committed genocide against the Armenians, I don't think the Turks would agree. It kinda puts the stamp of credibility on the issue and holds the Turks responsible. The timing is, of course, questionable. Why now?

Maybe it bolsters the case for an independent Kurdistan.

Maybe it tells the Turks that the U.S. will defend the Kurds in the same way the U.S. defends Israel. Maybe its because Armenia is often referred to as the cradle of Christendom and its just another extension of the modern day "crusade". Maybe they're picking sides so that the U.S. will have a bigger base of operation in the Middle East. Maybe they want control of the flow of natural gas and other untapped energy resources. Maybe this war will never end.
