Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman has once again questioned the fact of the Armenian Genocide.

In an interview to RTV TV channel, he noted that the proposal to recognize the Armenian Genocide as Turkey's peak is not acceptable: "I do not think that it is acceptable to rake this very issue, which is in many respects purely historical, controversial and theoretical. I do not think that this has a concrete impact on Israel's current position on Turkey."

At the clarifying question whether the relationship Azerbaijan is an obstacle to this, Liberman said: "First of all." 

According to him, relations with Azerbaijan is priority for Israel."

The day before the Israeli defense minister Avigdor Liberman urged to review the economic relations of the Jewish state with Turkey, following the statements of the country's President Tayyip Erdogan. 

Earlier Erdogan announced the intention of the republic to open an embassy in East Jerusalem in response to Washington's decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Israel and Turkey normalized the relations with each other only in 2016 after the crisis lasting six years.
