Turkey Urged to Normalize Ties With Israel Before 2015

Zali De Toledo

ANKARA—The leader of the Association of Turkish Jews in Israel has urged Turkey to normalize ties with Israel before 1915, the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, or risk the Jewish lobby to “stay neutral” on that issue.

Speaking to Today’s Zaman, Zali De Toledo said : “As 2015 is approaching, Turkey should take into account its interests and should normalize relations with Israel by appointing an ambassador to Israel as soon as possible. If both countries miss the opportunity to mend the ties, the Israeli lobby will likely stay neutral when 2015 comes.”

De Toledo told Today’s Zaman that she had done her utmost to pressure the Israeli lobby in the US to refrain from labeling mass killings of Armenians at the hands of the Ottomans in 1915 as genocide, adding: “I was the strongest supporter of the Turkish position. And now I am really disappointed to see Turkish-Israeli relations at this point.”

De Toledo was speaking of strains in Israel-Turkey relations after the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010. In late March, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered an apology to Israel, but that has not translated into immediate thaw in relations.

De Toledo served as Israeli cultural attaché to Turkey for 10 years, from 1993 to 2003. Israeli President Shimon Peres offered her the position in a bid to improve relations between the two countries.

Referring to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s harsh stance toward Israel over the Gaza issue, De Toledo says: “It’s a one-man show in Turkey. Why is Erdoğan asking for the lifting of the blockade on Gaza? Why is he interfering? This is an issue between Israelis and Gazans, after all!”

Israeli apology has nothing to do with isolation in region
Israel did not apologize to Turkey for the Mavi Marmara incident because it felt isolated in the Middle East, according to Reuven Azar, head of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs Bureau for Middle East Research, reported Today’s Zaman.

“It is not an issue of feeling alone in the region or not. It is more than that. Israel considers Turkey a major player in the region and wants to have an alliance with it just like in the past years. Israelis have sympathy toward Turkey and want to restore relations,” Azar told a group of Turkish journalists at the Israeli Foreign Ministry earlier this week.

“Israel is not alone. When it comes to the balance of power in the region, our position is better than the past in terms of security and economy,” Azar said.

The Israeli prime minister said that Israel apologized to Turkey because of the volatile situation in Syria.

Azar went on to say that Israel and Turkey have common interests when it comes to Syria. “The common goal is to maintain stability in the country,” he said.

Addressing the strained relations between the two countries, Azar said that Ankara and Tel Aviv can solve the problems that concern each side, adding that the two countries should come to an understanding and move on.

“However, we don’t really know what is going to be the future of the Turkish approach toward Israel. Turkey’s relations with Hamas are seriously disturbing. This situation brings a question to mind — to what extent can we put our eggs in the Turkish basket?” Azar said.

Relations between Turkey and Hamas, which rules Gaza, have been improving since Turkey’s ties with Israel collapsed over the Mavi Marmara incident.

“We have to ask whether Mavi Marmara is the only issue on the table. Where is Turkey heading in terms of political orientation? We look to Turkey-Hamas relations with great concern. We know that Turkey supports the Middle East peace process, but on the other hand it talks with Hamas,” Azar said.

In early October, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal paid a surprise visit to Ankara, where he met with Erdoğan for talks on Palestinian reconciliation and developments in the Middle East.

    I wonder how Jews play dirty games against their fake ally, who constantly playing Armenian Genocide card in US and Israel, in order to get them under the leash!! I wonder if Turks recognize the AG, what will be their faith in Turkey?? This is why Jews lost their homeland long time ago and yet, never learn the lessons of the past to keep their newly independent God given land, safe again!!

    I don’t believe there is an issue in the relations between Israel & Turkey. This is all a fake show to help Turkey win the leadership of the Islamic world. Notice that Israel did not threaten to recognize the Genocide but threatened to stay neutral which has been Israel’s policy all along. I believe the political ties between the two countries are much deeper than we think and I also believe they share secrets.

    This much open animosity from Jews against Armenians, and they don’t even hide it. When will we push back and teach them a lesson or two? How about recognizing the suffering of Palestinians at the hands of Israel, and confirming Jerusalem as an indivisible capital of the Palestinian State. We should join Palestinian demands for the right to return of all refugees, living in camps all over the Arab world.

    And yet the ANCA here in the US constantly panders to Jewish groups. They wield influence here and pandering by groups like the ANCA to them will yield nothing significant for us except trivial promises. Adam Schiff does what he does because he is forced to on the basis of his constituents being largely Armenian, if his constituent base changed tomorrow, all of his lip service to the Armenian community would diminish overnight.

    Armenians here in the US must unite and work on our own power base here to counteract such leveraging threats from abroad coming from cockroaches like this lady.

    Can you imagine the audacity of it all? They brandish such influence that they openly make political treats to Turkey regarding events in the USA from a third person perch called Israel. Disgusting, but their days are numbered, the 20th century was their dynastic age here in the US, other US ethnic groups are quickly waking up and forming their own power centers to create a more balanced approach to US foreign policy.

    Check out NoPlaceforDenial.com. It is doubtful that the ADL, AJC etc, will ever acknowledge our Genocide because, no matter what, they play up to Turkey and wish to hold the Armenian Genocide issue over the heads of the Turks. It is doubtful that the Turks take the Jewish threat seriously anymore, however, as Israel and Jewish groups threaten to recognize the genocide but never do. It is an empty threat, and the Turks know it.

    Israel has already lost its moral credibility on many issues and they should just stop using the Armenian Genocide as a bargaining tool.

    Turkey can handle things itself. They do not need anyone to advocate for them. In 1923, Turkish independence was all done by Turkish patriots and no one helped Turkey at the time. Israelis should worry about getting rid of Netanyahu. At least nowadays a majority of Turkey doesn’t like Erdogan the dictator.
    To all my Armenian friends, other powers pitted two sides against each other during the 1st World War. I understand when the Ottoman Empire was being autocratic, both Christians, Muslims and Jews of Anatolia wanted to overthrow the autorcratic sultanate. Unfortunately, outside powers (France, Russia, GB, etc.) pitted Christians against Muslims, Christians against Jews, Jews against Muslims, etc. and it caused a tragic set of death on both sides. We have to find a solution which will guarantee fair and just Turkish-Armenian ties and address the needs of Christian and Muslim victims without any 3rd party meddling.

    In other words, the Jewish lobbying firms won’t deny the Armenian Genocide anymore???? What a joke these people are.
    What will they tell God who will judge them????……. “Sorry God, Turkey was important for Israel, and they asked us to deny the Armenian Genocide, and we agreed to become accomplices in their crimes of denials and cover ups. Not only did we participate in Turkey’s denial, but we also engaged in obstruction of justice…… hehehehehe, aren’t we still Your chosen people?”
    From now on, on April 24, I will be protesting with signs at the Israeli Consulate and not the Turkish Consulate, to bring the attention of the world on this unimaginable crime that the Israeli Government and many of the world’s Jews are guilty of.

    Armenians should start having some doubts about the shoah than? if the Armenian extermination is not a Genocide than also the jewish one was not an Holocauste, they are so similar the way you describe one you also describe the other only the victims are different Armenians, Syriacs, greeks in the first one jews, Gipssies, homosexuals, blacks and comunists in the second. Germans are present in both, with the difference that the Armenians were exterminated in their ancestral homeland and not in diaspora, which make the singularity of the Armenian Genocide compaired to the shoah.Israel is harming itself in helping denial policies, one day they will realize it. Why should we get scandalized and feel solidarity with the jewish victims when someone like Ahmadinejad that denies the shoah. After all it is justified since Israel and the jewish lobbies do the same and help the turks in doing the same with the Armenian Genocide? You can not criticize someone for something you yourself do! That is what jews should learn first of all.

    I am a Turkish Jew living in America and I agree that Israel is being completely hypocritical about not recognizing the Armenian genocide in order to pander to Turkey. Shame on Israel and all the Jews who deny the Armenian Genocide. I feel much closer to the Armenian people who have suffered through a similar genocide as the Jews then to Turkish people, most of whom deny the AG.

Palesinians will never renounce from their lands and they ae going to increase in demogrphy,. Armenian should recognize the palestinian Genocide perpetrated by Zionsts. Israel is digging its grave with its own hands and self victimization and monopolization of genocide . All Rotschilds money will not be enough to buy them peace and rest. we do not care about Israel denying the Armenian Genocide,it is a fact tey recognizes it or not, who ae they after all? the more they deny our Genocide the more the entire world discovers who they really are.

    Accessibility Statement

    • www.asbarez.com
    • June 29, 2022

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.

    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback
