Turkish FM: genocide is evil that international community shares solemn responsibility to combat
During his visit to Israel earlier this week, Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan attended the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem and made the following note in the guest book:

"This museum reminds us all the heart-breaking memories of the Holocaust. We must learn lessons from the Holocaust; the way the evil took hold, the insidious appeal of its ideology… Genocide, ethnic cleansing, racism, anti-Semitism, Islam-phobia, Christian-phobia, xenophobia, all historical yet contemporary evils that the international community shares a solemn responsibility to combat. On behalf of the Turkish people and the Turkish Government, I want to express our reverence for the victims of the immeasurable evil. Blessed be their memory," EJP reports.
