About 30 Hai Day Bureau and Jerusalem's Armenian
Community representatives held a protest rally in front of a building
hosting a reception in celebration of Turkish Republic Day, Hai Dat
Bureau representative in Jerusalem, Georgette Avagian told
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

''We expressed our protest against Israeli ministers and politicians
attending the reception, by reminding them that Turkey was 1,5 million
Armenians' Genocide perpetrator and the one who deprived us of our
historic motherland. We condemn the Israeli government, whose nation
survived the Holocaust, for non-acknowledgement of the fact and
maintaining friendly relations with Turkey,'' Georgette Avagian
emphasized.
