Recognizing historical events or denying them, one should lean of facts but not relations. Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel should be viewed in this vein, said Armenian Assembly of America regional director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.

"Many Jewish organizations have recognized this crime against humanity. We know that Turkey tries to blackmail Israel but this policy has never paid dividends. History should be acknowledged, however bitter it can be," Ms. Apri Vartanian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Turkey wants to drive a wedge between Armenia and Diaspora but it will not succeed," she added.
