April 23, 2013 - 13:42 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Knesset will mark, Tuesday, on April 23, the
98th anniversary of the killing and deportation of up to 1.8 million
Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, Israel National News reported.
Against the backdrop of negotiations between Israel and Turkey to
restore relations, former Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin said, ahead of
the observance, "Don't forget Armenian Genocide due to politics. As
human beings and as Jews, we must not ignore the disaster of another
people, and not because of diplomatic considerations, important as
they are. We will continue to mark the anniversary of the massacre
of the Armenian people, regardless of relations with today's Turkey
as an ally."
