BREAKING: Jerusalemite Armenian community leader Hagop Djernazian delivers a scathing indictment of Israel’s decades-long refusal to recognize the Armenian Genocide, arguing that what was dismissed for years as diplomatically “inconvenient” is now being repackaged as a moral imperative.

His full statement: Part 1/2

Following Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's announcement that the Government of Israel will discuss recognizing the Armenian Genocide, I feel compelled to share some thoughts and facts for a clearer picture of the issue.

In 2013, as a 13-year-old boy, I attended my first Knesset session on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. I could never have imagined that more than a decade later I would still be writing about the same issue.

For years, the only political party that consistently raised the recognition was Meretz, not because it served a political interest, but because its members believed recognition was a moral and historical obligation of any crime. Late Minister Yossi Sarid had the courage in 2000 to attend the memorial in the Armenian Quarter and Zehava Galon in 2015, while others didn’t even accept invitations to attend the memorial service.

Year after year, members of the Armenian community, representatives of the Armenian National Committee, clergy, and supporters attended committee meetings with hope, but for years we returned back home disappointed. Every discussion ended the same way, the Government of Israel would send a representative to explain why this was not the right time to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Suddenly 2026 is the right time to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

On 20 April 2020, the government's position was stated clearly by former MK Tzachi Hanegbi from the Likud party:
"We, the Jewish people, know very well what genocide means. However, the Government of Israel believes that the question of recognizing the historical events that took place in the Ottoman Empire is a complex issue, with historical, political, and diplomatic dimensions. Therefore, it is not appropriate for the Knesset to adopt an official position on the matter."

This was not a one-time argument. It was the consistent position of successive Israeli governments for many years.

Former President Reuven Rivlin, for whom I have respect, took a very different approach for many years. Long before becoming President, while serving as Speaker of the Knesset, he repeatedly spoke in favor of recognizing the Armenian Genocide, not because of political calculations or as leverage against Turkey, but because he believed it was the morally right thing to do. As he said in the Knesset in 2012: "It is forbidden to turn this question and this expression of solidarity into a political issue."

From my own experience, I know that even after becoming President, he never abandoned this position. Recognition was never a political tool for him; it was a matter of historical truth and moral responsibility. President Rivilin was the first one to hold a session on the Armenian Genocide at the Residence of the President in 2015 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Genocide.

I also witnessed, on numerous occasions, attempts by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prevent meetings or initiatives in which the Armenian Genocide might be officially raised. That is why today's sudden appeal to morality raises difficult questions. If recognition is now considered a moral obligation, why was that same argument rejected for decades?

In 2016, MK Zehava Galon summarized exactly what many of us felt after years of attending these hearings: "Year after year, we give false hope to those gathered here. It does not befit the Knesset to continue discussing this issue annually without adopting a decision recognizing the Armenian Genocide on behalf of the State of Israel and the Knesset." Those words perfectly describe what our community experienced.

Taner Akçam is a great example of a Turk, who recognises the past of his country. He wrote several books on the Armenian genocide and other ethnic cleansings, which contributed to the creation of the Turkish state.
Time for more Turks to wake up and acknowledge the truth!

💔 Una imagen que resume el amor más grande y el dolor más profundo. 😭 Entre las historias que han marcado el terremoto en Venezuela, pocas han conmovido tanto como la de esta familia.

De acuerdo con la información difundida sobre el rescate, los equipos encontraron a los padres y a sus hijos sin vida bajo los escombros. La escena mostraba a los adultos abrazando a los pequeños, en un gesto que muchos interpretan como un intento desesperado por protegerlos hasta el último instante.

Desde entonces esta historia ha dado la vuelta al mundo y la imagen inspirada en ese momento se ha convertido en un símbolo del amor incondicional de unos padres por sus hijos, incluso frente a una tragedia inimaginable.

EPD 😢🙏 Luz eterna para ellos. 🕊️🕯️

Turkey supported the Azerbaijani ethnic cleansing of 300,000 Armenian Christians. Turkey sponsored the HTS thug regime that is genociding Syrian minorities. Turkey has mercenaries in Libya and Chad.
We should not sell advanced weaponry to Turkey.

Professor Stefan Ihrig, Head of the Haifa Center for German and European Studies at the University of Haifa:

"The 1,600-year-old community in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem's Old Cityis fighting an existential battle against opaque corporate land seizures. Through the "Save the ArQ" movement, local activists have spent over two years physically barricading the historic Cows' Garden against armed mobs and predatory developers wielding a contested, decades-old lease. If Jerusalem truly wishes to honor its "moral duty," it might want to start in Jerusalem."
