  • Israel officially denies Armenian genocide

    Diplomat in Azerbaijan expresses hope to improve relations with Turkey.

    Israel does not plan to recognize the Armenian genocide perpetrated by Turkey, Rafael Harpaz, Israel's ambassador to Azerbaijan, told Azeri website Trend.

    “Israel is a democratic country, everybody has two opinions, not one opinion,” Harpaz said. “The government has a very clear opinion.”

    He said Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman had made Israel's policy clear.

    Harpaz told Trend he hoped Israel's troubled relations with Turkey would improve.

    "There are enough common interests and issues in the world for us to cooperate,” Harpaz reportedly said. “I would like to take an example of Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines is the biggest foreign airline which is active in Israel. Istanbul is the biggest hub for Israelis. The same goes for tourism, trade which is up. We hope that our political relations with Turkey will improve."

    Harpaz has served as Israel's ambassador to Azerbaijan since 2012.





    Morally, how is this different from Iran denying the Holocaust?

    Also, those of you with a lack of (or ****ty) morals are welcome to reply. Your comments will help us understand the mindset behind evil.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

    It's interesting in that there is a significant Armenian population group in Israel and have been for ~1700 years. (the 4 quarters of the Old City are Armenian, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian (Catholic))

          If you knew the first thing about me, you'd know how incredibly funny what you just said was.

            Says the guy who no longer feels able to vote for the conservatives

            Let me know when you finally wake up to what a bunch of colossal bastards the Israeli government has been from, well, since its inception.

            Clue: you're getting there.

              Obama has also refused to do so. I don't agree with this position, but Israel's relationship with Turkey is precarious at the moment. They are bowing to what is essentially diplomatic pressure from Turkey. I don't approve, but that's what it is.
              If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                It will be interesting to see what he'll say in a few days, if anything... April 24th is the 100 year anniversary

                But yeah, this was another case of candidate obama saying one thing and president obama doing another:
