/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recently, World Youth Chess Championship was held in Turkey. An Israeli girl became Under 14 Girls tournament winner. Yet, Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem was not played at the award ceremony. Head of Israel's Chess Association has already filed an official protest to World Chess Association.
The tournament organizers decided that only hymns of the teams should be played, what constitutes a protocol violation.
Last night, Industry and Trade Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer arrived at Turkey, aiming to attempt at normalizing bilateral relations, which aggravated after Ankara’s screaming TV series on “Zionist occupants’ atrocities” in Gaza strip.
Turkey refuses to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israeli capital, addressing official letters to Tel Aviv. Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced he’d meet with Sudan president, charged of crimes against humanity, rather than with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Kursor reported.
