    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan today received Jewish historian Yair
    Auron, now visiting Yerevan for the launch of the Armenian translation
    of his work Banality of Indifference.

    In his book, Auron states that the Genocide of Armenians was a
    prelude to the Jewish Holocaust and bemoans the behaviour of the
    Israeli government in not recognizing the 1915 Genocide.

    President Sargsyan thanked Auron on the occasion of the publication
    of the Armenian version of his work and for his efforts towards the
    international recognition of the Genocide

    At a press conference in Yerevan, Auron said, "By failing to recognize
    the genocides inflicted on other nations, we demean the Holocaust. We
    are obliged to respect the memories of other peoples and must discuss
    the Armenian Genocide on the parliamentary level," Yair Auron told
    a press conference in Yerevan.

    Auron has been joined in his trip to Armenia by ex-Israeli
    parliamentarian Yair Tzaban.

    Zori Balayan has written the introduction to the book which has
    been released due to the assistance of Moscow-based businessman
    Karen Baghdasaryan.
