April 24 2015 marks 100 years since one of the darkest periods of the twentieth century: when Armenians in the Ottoman Empire were rounded up and deported. Vast numbers were either killed or died of starvation and disease. Armenia and around twenty other countries call it 'genocide'. Turkey rejects that. But a century on, is it still a taboo to discuss it in Turkey - and how much has public opinion shifted? From Istanbul, Mark Lowen reports.
