/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Genocide issue was put on Knesset
agenda again, an Israeli official said.

"The panel to deal with the issue should be determined," Mr. Zeev
Elkin, member of Likud party, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"The Armenian Genocide has not been a subject of discussion for 20
years in Israel. You know that on May 26, 2008 the Knesset decided
that one of its panels will deal with the issue. It’s early to speak
of recognition yet and we hope that the discussion will have a positive
result," he said.

Mr. Elkin refuted media reports about demolition of the Armenian
Catholic Church in Jerusalem.
