Zeev Elkin: Turkey position proved inevitability of Armenian Genocide recognition by Israel
Turkey's attitude to Cast Lead operation caused disappointment in Israel, a Likud party member said.
"Ankara's position has proved inevitability of the Armenian Genocide recognition. As to a Knesset resolution, the new parliament will start work on February 24 and Likud party stands a good chance to head it," Zeev Elkin told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"I was right to insist on recognition of the Armenian Genocide. We did not do it, and instead of support, we received harsh criticism from Turkey," Mr. Elkin said.
Turkey has condemned the Cast Lead operation Israel launched in Gaza. Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan even called to ban Israel from the UN, thus inciting a wave of anti-Semitism in Turkey.
