The Parliament of Israel was set to consider whether to put the
Armenian Genocide issue on the agenda or not. This is not the first
time the Knesset refers to the issue. The issue was raised three
years in a row, but it was not discussed.

Again, the expectations are not big, expert on Armenian-Israeli
relations Artak Grigoryan told a press conference today. According
to him, certain geopolitical factor will prevent the Knesset from
adopting an Armenian genocide resolution.

The Israeli diplomacy is not guided by emotions and personal
affections, but by the interests of the Jews, despite the existence of
an Armenian lobby, and pro-Armenian figure Haim Oron. Oron’s party has
three representatives in the Knesset and does not play an important
role in the domestic political life of the country.
