Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Erdoğan Rejects Israel's Armenian Genocide Recognition
Caption: Erdoğan Rejects Israel’s Armenian Genocide Recognition. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has rejected Israel's recognition of the Armenian genocide, accusing Israel of trying to divert attention from the war in Gaza. Erdoğan said Turkey's history contains "no genocide, no massacre, no oppression, and no colonialism.” He also accused Israel of having the "blood of 73,000 innocent Gazans" on its hands, repeating claims that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel formally recognized the Armenian genocide in a unanimous vote on Sunday, further straining relations between the two countries. The Ottoman Empire's mass killing of Armenians, which claimed an estimated one million lives, is widely recognized by scholars as genocide. Israel has strongly denied accusations that it is committing genocide in Gaza. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
