    Federation citizens ARE a group though. Let me rephrase this a bit more offensively and modern day:

    it was all Armenian citizens being forced to leave a land which was agreed in negotiations with Turkey to have been rightful Turkish territory which was illegally occupied by Armenia in the first place.

      The difference is it was Federation citizens doing it to rogue Federation citizens, who had actually committed a similar crime of forced relocation by making a Cardassian colony uninhabitable to Cardassians.

      That doesn’t make the situation totally right, that’s just to say it’s morally gray.

      It’s a little like calling the Alamo a genocide.
