Turkey accuses Israel of using 'Armenian genocide' claim to hide its own crimes

Turkey has strongly condemned Israel’s recent political decision to recognize the 1915 events as an Armenian genocide. In an official statement, Turkey accused the Israeli government of using the declaration to “cover up its own crimes.” Ankara argues that the move is a political maneuver, not a historical judgment, and that it aims to distract from Israel’s actions. The dispute adds fresh tension to already strained relations between the two countries.
