Turkey: Israeli recognition of Armenia genocide would be harmful

Turkey on Friday warned Israel against recognizing the Armenian genocide, warning that it would only harm itself if it did so.

"We think that Israel putting the events of 1915 on the same level as the Holocaust is harming itself first and foremost," Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy told reporters in Ankara, according to AFP.
