Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz reminded Turkish PM of Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman forces.

In response to Erdogan's accusations against Israel, Katz said more than a million Armenians were murdered by Ottoman troops in 1915, Arutz Sheva reported.

“In 1915 the Turks massacred a million and a half Armenians and he accuses us, who are fighting his friends in the Islamic movement, of genocide? Who wants a relationship with such a person?” wrote Katz.

His remark came in response to a harsh criticism of Erdogan who accused Israel of “ systematic genocide and terrorism” in Gaza. “Israel threatens world peace,” Turkish PM said.
