this is great, it's bugged me for ages that my Twigs records were on a label with that name (my wife is armenian so I never hear the end of it re: this terminology, whether it's around Cenk's stupid broadcast or this song. In fact she wrote a pretty good essay about her reaction when she learned this was the name of this song).

I was just talking about this with an Armenian friend of mine, who’d never heard of the label, and he was amused by the founder’s claim that he was unaware of the term’s connotations despite initially electing a skull wearing a fez as the label’s logo.

yeah there's a similar comment on the post; though I could see them just doing that because it was a fez and a fez is associated with turks in general. I would not be surprised if they did not investigate this very deeply given their ages when the label launched.
