Israel calls Turkey not to give it morality lessons

YEREVAN, JANUARY 13, ARMENPRESS: During the discussions over the Armenian Genocide at Knesset, Israel, parliamentarians wanted to address a message to Turkey with their speeches. "Do not give us lessons of morality," Israel's former defence minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer stated in an interview given to APA, referring to the possible developments of the Israeli-Turkish and Israeli-Azerbaijani relations in case of recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Armenpress reports.

"The topic of the Armenian Genocide only concerns the relations of Israel with Turkey, as Israel is not very satisfied with the policy assumed by the current authorities of Turkey," Ben-Eliezer said, pointing out that Azerbaijan has no connection with the discussion of the Armenian Genocide issue in Israel.

According to him, Israel does its best to find a way of dialogue with Turkey and to regulate the relations. Israel's former defence minister noted Turkey has an utmost significance for its country from the strategic and economic viewpoints. "We stand up for regulation of relations and peace, but the matter is we do not see that wish by Ankara," said Ben Elizer.
