Uhm ... no ... why should I think that Turks are people of war, murder and torture (the Turks I know certainly aren't - unless they are masters of disguise of course )?

I will not go into the "Armenian genocide" issue as I certainly do not have the knowledge that would be required to lead a well-informed discussion - however, even if I would assume that the genocide took place in the worst form - I would still have no reason to look down on the Turkish people of today, just as I do not consider Japanese to be a people of war, murder and torture (and as I expect others to not consider me a person of war, murder and torture, just because I am German).
