Turkey’s Ambassador to Tel Aviv Namik Tan yesterday said that Ankara
appreciates Israel’s "open and rational" stance on the so-called
Armenian genocide allegations. Speaking with Azerbaijani reporters,
Tan also said that a recent decision in favor or the allegations
by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a US Jewish group, had upset
Turkey. In related news, Israel is reportedly concerned about the
possibility the US Congress could pass a resolution supporting the
allegations. "There’s concern in Israel that Turkish-Israeli relations
would be damaged if the resolution is passed," said Israeli daily
The Jerusalem Post.
