Turkey Concerned about Discussions on Armenian Genocide in Knesset

Turkey is deeply concerned about the discussions on Armenian genocide in Israeli Parliament (Knesset). Zaman reports this by referring to Turkish diplomatic sources.

According to the newspaper that Turkey would continue to insist that the issue is discussed not in Parliaments but by historians.

During the discussions in Knesset the minister of Environmental affairs of Israel Gilad Erdan expressed idea that the Government of Israel is not principally against recognizing “Holocaust perpetrated against Armenian people”. The newspaper also quotes the words of Israeli Parliament speaker Reuven Rivlin who had mentioned that recognition of Armenian genocide is the moral obligation of the Jewish people.
