RABBI RECOGNIZES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Support A1+!“I use the term “genocide”. The photos we saw in the Genocide Museum speak for themselves. No one can sympathize with the Armenians like we, the Jewish, can,” Chief Rabbi of Israel Yona Metzger stated today at the memorial to the Armenian Genocide victims.
Voicing his spiritual and religious solidarity with the Armenian people, Yona Metzger reminded that the religious powers in Israel do not interfere in the state affairs and cannot force the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Israeli authorities.
As for those political figures denying the Genocide the Rabbi said, “We do not share such position.”
Israeli MP, who was interpreting the Rabbi’s speech for his part added that his country enjoys good relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey. “Turkey is our important ally, however no one has the right to change the past. In his words, if not the Armenian Genocide Holocaust could be avoided, since the Genocide served as a permission for the fascist Germany.
The Chief Rabbi of Israel planted a fir on the alley to the Genocide victims. Then the Jewish delegation hurried to the meeting with the RA Prime Minister.
