Asking for more information about Armenian subjects
Homenetmen Haifa tries to teach the Armenian youth the history of the nation.We are interested to receive books about the Armenians and especially about the Genocide. Our youth need to have access to informative sources. The Armenians in Haifa are united around the Agump?(Armenian club). We need much to do in order to attract our children or youth to join the Agump, instead of wasting their precious time on the streets .
?
Unfortunately, Israel does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, because it retains good relations with Turkey and the USA. We hope that the Israeli politicians realize that supporting Turkey does not need to be on the expense of telling the historical truth.
