Against the backdrop of negotiations between Israel and Turkey to restore relations, former Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin said, ahead of the observance, "Don't forget Armenian Genocide due to politics. As human beings and as Jews, we must not ignore the disaster of another people, and not because of diplomatic considerations, important as they are.
