Managing editor of Israel-based izrus.co.il portal Alexander Goldstein doubts that information about Israel’s intention to support Armenians in their confrontation with Turks is true.

He commented for Armenian News-NEWS.am on the reports of Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.  

The newspaper wrote that Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman instructed to develop measures to counter Turkey in the international arena, among them is the support of Armenians and Kurds in their confrontation with Turks.

Goldstein recalled that earlier Israel supported Kurds, Iranian Kurds not Turkish. On the whole, Kurds receive Israel’s moral support, he stressed.

“It is strange that Lieberman, one of the architects of bilateral relations with Azerbaijan, is speaking about supporting Armenians. He is a person who realizes that it can ruin 20-year work in this direction,” he said.

Besides, the author of the article is not famous for his close ties to foreign office or Lieberman personally, therefore source of information is unclear, Goldstein stressed.
