Turkish Foreign Ministry said the Israeli Parliament Knesset’s decision
to accept a proposal to discuss the Armenian allegations regarding the
incidents of 1915, was an attempt expected to fail like previous ones.
Turkish Foreign Ministry said the Israeli Knesset’s decision to accept
a proposal to discuss the Armenian Genocide was an attempt expected
to fail like previous ones.
Commenting on the Knesset’s decision to accept the leader of Meretz
Party Haim Oron’s proposal to debate the Armenian Genocide, Foreign
Ministry Spokesman Burak Ozugurgun pointed out that similar proposals
were discussed at Knesset in the past and added: "We expect such
attempts to fail like the examples in the past."
"Turkey’s view on judgment of history by parliamentarians, in general,
is well known. It is better to leave interpretation of history to
historians," said Ozugurgun.
Ozugurgun informed that Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun
Sinirlioglu would shortly travel to Israel for regular consultations,
adding that the Middle East peace process as well as the course of
Turkish-Israeli relations would be discussed, Anadolu Agency reports.
