Israeli parliament may recognize `Armenian genocide’

[ 27 Mar 2010 13:14 ]

Baku ` APA. 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.
