YEREVAN, MARCH 23, ARMENPRESS: Being a country which experienced the
suffering of the genocide, Israel has to recognize Armenian Genocide.
Israeli historian, scholar and expert specializing on Holocaust and
Genocide studies, racism and contemporary Jewry Yair Auron made a
statement at two-day international scientific conference titled
`Armenian Genocide. Challenges ahead of the century’.
`Many people in Israel want the government to recognize Armenian
Genocide. Actually Israel had to be among first countries to recognize
Armenian Genocide, as Jewish nation experienced the suffering of the
genocide,’ Armenpress quoted Yair Auron.
According to him, impunity of the genocide committed against Armenians
during World War I became the reason of the Genocide committed against
Jewish people during World War II. `Germany used the fact that
committers of the Armenian Genocide remained to be unpunished, so it
is necessary to recognize and condemn Armenian Genocide, in order to
avoid such phenomenon in future,’ historian said.
International scientific conference titled `Armenian Genocide.
Challenges ahead of the century’ launched on March 23.
