Common grief, pain and memories about 1.5 mln people slaughtered in 1915 unites Armenians worldwide on April 24. A rally, organized by Union of Armenians of Israel , was held outside the Turkish consulate in Tel Aviv.

The event aimed to urge the Turkish government and Israel to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

“We, the citizens of Israel, address our government. Genocide denial is yet another genocide. For the past 98 years the Armenian people have been struggling against a horrible injustice. It is high time Israeli government and people extended a helping hand to Armenians in recognition of the tragedy that claimed millions of lives of innocent people,” union’s spokesman Mendel Korsunski said.
