/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey ‘is not worried’ about the Armenian Genocide
discussions in the Israeli Knesset, said the President of the Center
for Eurasian Strategic Studies.

"Attempts to push such resolutions in the Knesset were repeatedly
made but they all proved vain. Turkey and Israel are partners in
many fields. I don’t think that the Knesset will arrive at a positive
decision on the issue," Farouk Lologlu said, 1news.az reports.

On 26 March, the Knesset decided to bring the Armenian Genocide
issue into discussion in one of parliamentary panels. Zeev Elkin of
Kadima offered to debate in the committee on education and culture
while Joseph Shagal insisted on discussions in committee on external
affairs and defense.

Some Turkish politicians apprehend tensions in the Israeli-Turkish
relations.
