Those Israeli planes that appeared over Budapest in March without the Hungarian air authorities having been informed overflew Turkey on the way. That time, Turkey gave permission, or at least said it did. Turkey says Israeli planes allowed to overfly ‘on condition’:
The Turkish Air Forces Command has confirmed that two Israeli Gulfstream fighter jets which flew over Turkey last Wednesday had been given official permission to do so after fulfilling certain conditions.
In an announcement posted on its Web site on Saturday, the Air Forces Command referenced earlier news reports that two Israeli Air Force Gulfstream V-type jets, equipped with sophisticated intelligence equipment, flew over Hungary the same day a Syrian man was gunned down inside his luxury vehicle in Budapest.
In a possible sequel to an assassination in Dubai, Israeli spy planes flew uninvited and unannounced over Budapest, the same day a Syrian man was shot to death in his car there, Hungarian media reported Thursday.
The two Israeli jets flew more than 1,300 miles over Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania on Wednesday before flying over eastern Budapest and then disappearing, the reports said. With a letter from the Turkish Foreign Ministry dated March 4, the Turkish Air Forces had given the two Israeli warplanes permission to transit Turkish airspace with a route from Nevatim, Israel, through Budapest and Varna, and back to Nevatim, the announcement said.
The Armenian genocide happened 70-75 years ago, under the Young Turk government in power in the Ottoman Empire. Even if Ataturk's forces continued to commit violence and murder against Armenians, on a smaller scale, during the Turkish War of Liberation slightly more recently, almost all of that still happened, I believe, before Ataturk's Turkish Republic was established.
So how could anybody bring suit in the U.S. now? Who would be the plaintiffs? Who would be the defendants? What law would they sue under?
It was the Air Force that buzzed the demonstration in Cairo with fighters the other day.
Didn't the Egyptian government or media ever deny the reports that Mubarak's son, wife, and son-in-law had fled the country?
According to the initial report, officials would not confirm the reports. Why ever would they not deny them?

Sorry for the bad arithmetic (I guess I needed another cup of coffee.) The Armenian genocide happened 90-95 years ago, not 70-75 years ago.
