Turkish analyst Cem Oguz has commented on the recognition of the
so-called "Armenian genocide" by Israel and Ukraine.

"Neither Israel nor Ukraine will ever recognize the so-called ‘Armenian
genocide’. These countries understand the implications of such actions,
therefore, I do not think that the authorities of these countries
are interested in worsening ties with Turkey", head of the Turkish
Strategic Research Center Cem Oguz said.

"Our ties with Israel cannot be called exemplary, therefore,
Tel Aviv’s step will further worsen them. If Israel looks into the
future, I do not think that this state will take such a step. As for
Ukraine, it is our neighbor on the Black Sea, we have common security
interests in this region. In addition, we are successfully developing
our economic ties, while our prime minister was among the first who
congratulated the current Ukrainian president with the victory during
elections. Therefore, I think in this issue the efforts of the Armenian
diaspora will be ineffective", Oguz said.
