Haim Ouizemann, vice president of the Israeli Organization of the
Francophonie (OFI), who is also involved in politics and is working
for several media outlets, has written an open letter to Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In his letter Ouizemann condemns Turkey's response to the report of
Palmer and decision to expel Israeli Ambassador to Turkey Gaby Levy.
Ouizemann also raises the issue of the Armenian Genocide and condemns
Turkey for historical amnesia.
In a letter published on Israël Flash website Ouizemann says that
Turkey intends to appeal to the International Court in The Hague
but at the same time is suffering from historical amnesia and denial
policy. He stresses that Ankara continues to deny their undeniable
responsibility for one of the biggest genocides in modern history,
the Armenian Genocide.
He also mentions that Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk was forced to
emigrate to U.S. due to persecution and death threats because of his
extraordinary courage, unconditional support to the Armenian issue and
his words: "One million Armenians and 30 thousand Kurds were killed in
these (Turkish) lands, but no one, except for me, dares talk about it."
"One and a half million Armenians, Turkish citizens, are still waiting
for justice. Meanwhile, you are resisting paying tribute to memory
of the victims. If you want to come to The Hague, then you should
get there before us. You're already late for a century," he says.
