On Sunday, Armenia marks 107 years since the Armenian Genocide, during which the Ottoman Empire killed between 600,000 and over a million Armenians from 1915 to 1916, Jpost reported.

Last year, US President Joe Biden recognized the massacre of Armenians as genocide, which angered Turkey.

Even though Israel is home to a large community of Christian Armenians, it has not yet recognized the massacres of Armenians as genocide. Following Biden's announcement last year, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said he would continue to fight for Israeli recognition of the Armenian Genocide; this is our moral responsibility as a Jewish state.

MP from the Meretz party Mossi Raz will take part in the anniversary ceremony in Armenia on Sunday.

"The massacre of more than a million Armenians is one of the most horrific manifestations of human cruelty," said Raz on Saturday. "The time has come for Israel to remember those who perished and to tell their story. This is our duty as Jews and our duty as human beings. It is a great honor for me to represent the Knesset and Israel in this important position."
