Was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in the Armenian genocide? During his time, were there masacres of Armenians or other peoples in the pursuit of a Turkish identity?

Do mean durring his time as Ottoman officer meanwhile the Armenian Genocide happened, or his time as 1st president of the republic of Turkey? Or both together? Just wanna clarify before so I can try to compose the best answer.
