ArmInfo.Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennet appealed to the Knesset with a proposal to recognize the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, reports The Times of Israel.
"I appealed to the Speaker of the Knesset to authorize the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel in the Ottoman Empire," Bennet said. He also called the mistake of Israel signing an agreement on establishing relations with Turkey in 2016, noting that he himself voted against this "shameful agreement."
The minister invited the citizens of Israel to refuse to travel to Turkey, and also asked the prime minister to discuss in the government the recognition of the rights of the Kurdish minority in Syria.
