Gul conveys his disappointment over ADL statement to Israeli
ambassador
The New Anatolian / Ankara
23 August 2007
Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has told Israeli Ambassador Pinhas
Avivi Ankara is disappointed over remarks by American-Jewish group
‘Anti Defamation League’ (ADL) which said that it would acknowledge
Armenian allegations regarding the incidents of 1915 in Ottoman
Turkey as an act of genocide.
The Israeli Embassy has already released a statement in which it
expressed that there is no change in Israeli government’s stance
regarding the incidents of 1915.
ADL President Abraham Foxman indicated in a statement posted on the
group’s web-site on Wednesday that his organization had come to share
the view that the incidents "were indeed tantamount to genocide," but
added that the organization maintained its opposition against
bringing the issue to Congressional floor.
