I can see, given you refer to "jews are good at marketing" and equate all Jews with Israel, that you are not really interested in a nuanced point of view, but I'm a sucker for something like this.
It's more complicated than that. For a long time, Turkey was the only predominantly Muslim state that had normalized relations with Israel. I feel like rather than being done for money, their reluctance to acknowledge the genocide was due to geopolitical realities.
State actors always have a choice between a moral imperative and strategic considerations. That, unfortunately, is life. What is also true is that Israel is a modern liberal democracy, and there are many voices that disagree with the government.

Who knows? I doubt it has anything to do with Israel. Without evidence to support that fact I'd also chalk it up to geopolitics. The US also liked using Turkish air bases for refueling for Iraq 1+2 and Afghanistan. Turkey is an essential interlocutor in Middle East politics, and is better use as an ally than not.
Or, an even more far-fetched theory, they could be called out for the treatment of their aboriginal populations, especially in the 1800s.
