    Israeli people ready for Armenian Genocide recognition - professor

    March 30, 2013 - 18:37 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - Professor of Open University of Israel, historian
    Yair Auron said he didn't rule out the recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide by Israeli government in the near future.

    In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, he cited the current
    geopolitical situation, problems with Turkey and the commonality
    between the Genocide and Holocaust to prove his point.

    `Knowledge about the Armenian Genocide changes the visions of Israeli
    people,' Professor Auron said.

    The Israeli historian had an invaluable contribution to the Armenian
    Genocide awareness campaign, with two courses on Genocide studies
    launched at the Open University of Israel.

    `Harming Turkey is another reason why Israeli people are for the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide,' he said, slamming the approach
    as negative, given the current tensions.

    `The Armenian Genocide issue has been discussed in Israeli Knesset for
    the past few years, with double standards applied, however. Israeli
    authorities continue the struggle against the denial of holocaust,
    whilst refusing to recognize the Genocide. Proposals on Genocide
    recognition have been rejected five times,' he said.

    The professor noted an open discussion of the issue in 2013 as the
    first accomplishment, adding that it was previously discussed at the
    Security Committee.
