Israel's move to recognise Armenian genocide stalls under regional pressure
Ankara strongly denies the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Armenians constitute genocide. While the motion's architect, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, called recognition a “moral duty”, critics say the move took aim at Turkey amidst rising tensions. Based in Tbilisi, Israeli defence and security expert Eugene Kogan claims Israel badly miscalculated.
