Contrary to his engagement preceding his elections as President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin stopped to support the “Armenian genocide” accusation. There are indeed strong foreign policy reasons for such a change—and some of the most important ones were exposed in the op-ed I co-wrote in Haaretz with Dr. Alexander Murinson. Regardless, even as far as history is concerned, this change is welcome.

Routledge’s prestigious journal “Middle East Critique” dedicated its issue on World War One and the Armenian Case.
At the Editor’s Note, Middle East Critique editor Eric Hooglund stated that they are dedicating the Summer issue of the journal to World War One on the 100th anniversary, with Prof Hakan Yavuz as the Special Issue Guest Editor, because “major political consequence”s of WW1 still effect us today, one of which is “less well-known issue” of the Turco-Armenian conflict.
Middle East Critique is classified as a “A*” journal by the Australian Research Council for its Excellence in Research for Australia initiative, placing it in the top 5% of journals in the “Humanities and Creative Arts” cluster.
You can buy this special issue at Routledge’s website .
