YEREVAN.- Despite tensed relations Turkey and Israel remain strategic
partners, Giro Manoyan, head of central Hay Dat (Armenian Cause)
office, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
He stressed that the relations are not that tensed to stop being
strategic.
"Taking into account this fact, as well as close relations between
Israel and Azerbaijan we should note that Armenia has no grounds to
normalize relations with Israel at a new level. Moreover, there are
no prerequisites that tension in Israeli-Turkish ties will facilitate
recognition of the Armenian Genocide," he said.
Manoyan expressed opinion that recognition of the Armenian Genocide
is a demand of Israeli people and sooner or later Tel-Aviv will
recognize the Armenian Genocide. However, it will be Israel's wish,
but not result of deterioration in Israeli-Turkish relations, he added.
Relations between Turkey and Israel became tensed after Tel-Aviv
refused to officially apologize for killing Turkish citizens during
the raid at Mavi Marmara vessel. In response Turkey sent off three
Israeli diplomats from Ankara.
