Jerusalem Armenians rallied at the building hosting Turkish Republic celebratory reception
About 30 Hai Day Bureau and Jerusalem's Armenian Community representatives held a protest rally in front of a building hosting a reception in celebration of Turkish Republic Day, Hai Dat Bureau representative in Jerusalem, Georgette Avagian told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

''We expressed our protest against Israeli misters and politicians attending the reception, by reminding them that Turkey was 1,5 million Armenians' Genocide perpetrator and the one who deprived us of our historic motherland. We condemn the Israeli government, whose nation survived the Holocaust, for non-acknowledgement of the fact and maintaining friendly relations with Turkey,'' Georgette Avagian emphasized.
