ISSUE ON RECOGNIZING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BY ISRAEL IS CONNECTED
DIRECTLY WITH POSITION OF USA: ISRAELI SCIENTIST
YEREVAN, APRIL 20. ARMINFO. “As soon as the USA recognizes Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915, Israel will not wait a little to
follow its example”, Scientific adviser of Commission on memory of
victims and heroes of Holocaust Yad Washema Yehuda Bauer stated in
an interview to ARMINFO.
However, professor expressed regret that the USA is not amongst
those countries ready to recognize Armenian Genocide. “Policy of
official Tel-Aviv does not advance to the direction of recognizing
Armenian Genocide, considering that Israel-Turkey relations may suffer
greatly”, Bauer noted and stressed that Israeli opposition and mass
media insisting on recognizing Genocide are in minority.
