Israeli parliament may recognize “Armenian genocide”

Israeli parliament may recognize “Armenian genocide”Israeli parliament (Knesset) is expected to put draft resolution on recognition of the so-called “Armenian genocide” to vote in April, APA quotes Israel-based IzRus website.

The draft resolution was proposed by the leader of the leftist oppositional party Meretz Haim Oron. His initiative was rejected by Knesset last year, but it is not ruled out now that the Israeli parliament can recognize the so-called “Armenian genocide” because of the tensions in the Turkish-Israeli relations. Turkey’s protecting policy towards the Islamic world and especially towards the Arab countries was estimated as one of the main factors, which weakened the position of the opponents of the recognition of the so-called “Armenian genocide” at the Israeli parliament.
