The Knesset will hold a ceremony to mark the memory of the Turkish
genocide of Armenians, almost 100 years ago, on Tuesday, the Israel
National News informs.
MK Reuven Rivlin (Likud) said before the ceremony that he believes that
"as human beings and as Jews, we must not ignore the catastrophe of
another nation for any reason, including diplomatic considerations,
important as they may be."
"We will mark the annual memorial day for the massacre of the
Armenian people regardless of the relations with today's Turkey,
which is an ally."
Turkey is highly displeased with the Knesset's decision to mark
the day, as relations between the countries continue to be tense,
despite a recent rapprochement brokered by U.S. President Barack Obama.
