Turkish Foreign Ministry slams Israel's decision on 1915 Armenian claims

Turkey's Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned Israel's recent decision concerning the 1915 Armenian incidents. The ministry issued a written statement accusing the Israeli government of using this political decision to obscure its own alleged wrongdoings.

“

All the world's eyes are on the systematic persecution of the Palestinian people and the Israeli government, which is on trial for genocide against Gazans at the International Court of Justice, aims to cover up its own crimes with the political decision it has made regarding the 1915 events.

Ankara asserted that the Israeli government, which it claims is systematically persecuting the Palestinian people and facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza, is attempting to cover up its crimes. The ministry described Israel's decision as a "malicious initiative" that disregards legal and historical facts.

The statement further linked this decision to the predicament of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his associates, who face arrest warrants as part of investigations into alleged crimes against Palestinians at the International Criminal Court. Turkey emphasized that this move by Israel highlights their current difficulties.

“

This malicious initiative, which disregards legal and historical facts, reveals the predicament of Netanyahu and his accomplices, who have arrest warrants against them within the scope of the investigation being conducted in connection with the crimes committed against Palestinians at the International Criminal Court.

Turkey reiterated its commitment to ending Israel's expansionist and destabilizing policies in the region. The nation also pledged to continue its efforts to ensure that the Netanyahu government is held accountable in court for its alleged crimes against civilians, particularly the Palestinian people.

“

Turkey will resolutely continue to work to end Israel's expansionist and destabilizing policies in the region and to hold the Netanyahu government accountable in law for the crimes it has committed against civilians, especially the Palestinian people.
