Israelis, who many times witnessed attempts of the Holocaust denial, must never deny another people’s tragedy which is proved by historical facts, Knesset Speaker said.

Addressing the education panel, which hosted a discussion on the Armenian Genocide for the first tome in the Knesset history, Reuven Rivlin stated that “the conflict between Turks and Armenians can be a justification for the denial of a nation’s tragedy.”

“It’s our moral duty, as Jews and just as people, to recognize this atrocity,” he said.
