@yakamozzz Ich habe auch gegoogelt, und das hier gefunden:
"Als Außenminister unterstützte Schimon Peres die strategische Allianz mit der Türkei und weigerte sich im April 2001, den Begriff Holocaust auf den Völkermord an den Armeniern anzuwenden: „We reject attempts to create a similarity between the Holocaust and the Armenian allegations. Nothing similar to the Holocaust occurred. It is a tragedy what the Armenians went through but not a genocide.“. Da Frankreich aufgrund der Anerkennung des Völkermordes an den Armeniern von 1915 durch die Nationalversammlung aus dem Waffengeschäft mit der Türkei ausgeschlossen worden war,
sicherte Peres Israel somit türkische Rüstungsaufträge im Umfang von über zwei Milliarden US-Dollar."
Wikipedia: Schimon Peres"Dear Mr. Peres:
[...]
It seems to me, according to yesterday's report in the Ankara newspaper, that you have gone beyond a moral boundary that no Jew should allow himself to trespass. You are quoted as follows: "We reject attempts to create a similarity between the Holocaust and the Armenian allegations. Nothing similar to the Holocaust occurred. It is a tragedy what the Armenians went through but not a genocide."
For the record, in 2000, at a Conference on the Holocaust in Philadelphia,
a large number of researchers of the Holocaust, including Israeli historians, signed a public declaration that the Armenian Genocide was factual.
Also for the record, in 1997, at the meeting of the Association of Genocide Scholars, the Association as a whole officially voted a resolution
that the Armenians had been subject to full-scale genocide.
Even as I disagree with you, it may be that in your broad perspective of the needs of the State of Israel, it is your obligation to circumvent and desist from bringing up the subject with Turkey, but as a Jew and an Israeli I am ashamed of the extent to which you have now entered into the range of actual denial of the Armenian Genocide, comparable to denials of the Holocaust."
