YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Yossi Sarid,
a member of the Israeli Knesset, urged Turkey to assume the
responsibility for the Armenian Genocide, Armenpress reported.

“You should be held responsible for the Armenian Genocide, it can’t go
unpunished,” Sarid said referring to the Turkish government. He also
noted that while the present Turkish government is not directly
responsible for what had happened, they should however assume a
historic responsibility.

Sarid also mentioned that he presented his and his colleagues’
statements in his yesterday’s speech. “Unfortunately, I do not
represent the positions of the Israeli government, but being a member
of opposition I speak on behalf of the majority of the Israeli people
and Diaspora,” he added.
