/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian community of Israel hopes that the
Armenian Genocide recognition issue will be introduced into the
Knesset’s agenda after the parliamentary vacation finishing May 18.

"Zeev Elkin continues lobbying the hearings. True, we come across
fierce opposition of the Azeri lobby.

Knesset members allegedly representing Baku’s interests, as a matter
of fact, act on orders from Turkey. Unfortunately, Israel depends on
Turkey," head of the Jerusalem Hai Dat Office, Dr Georgette Avakian
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Anyway, the Armenian community is optimistic.

Meetings between the Armenian and Israeli parliamentary groups have
become more frequent recently. We suppose that this fact can be
positive for the Armenian Genocide debate in Knesset," she said.
