Israel will recognize Armenian Genocide if it forgoes "Holocaust monopoly"February 17, 2009 - 21:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Ergodan's Davos walkout gave hope for recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel. It could be possible but for Israel's conviction of uniqueness of the Holocaust, an Armenian expert said. "The uniqueness of the Holocaust is an extremely important and delicate topic for the Jewish identity. Tensions in the Turkey-Israel relations are not enough to settle the problem. Israel will recognize Armenian Genocide if it forgoes Holocaust monopoly," deputy director of the Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum, orientalist Suren Manukyan told PanARMENIAN.Net Tel Aviv can use the genocide issue as a tool of pressure on Turkey but recognition is unlikely, according to him. "However, under the circumstances, the Jewish lobby in the U.S. may reconsider its position on recognition of the Genocide by the 111th Congress," Manukyan presumed.
