Genocide
For years, close ties
between Israel and Turkey were understood to be the reason Jerusalem has
avoided the repeated requests of Armenians for the international community to
recognize the genocide their community suffered at the hands of the Ottoman
Turks during World War I. Not only has Israel refused to recognize that the
massacre was premeditated and planned by the Ottoman government in Istanbul, it
has also exerted its influence in Washington to prevent the United States from
recognizing the genocide.
