Today Knesset discusses the Armenian Genocide resolution

As "Azg" daily has already informed, today the Knesset, Israeli
Parliament, will discuss the Armenian Genocide resolution.

Taking into account Israeli-Turkish recent strained relations, we
cherish hopes that the people that has gone through Holocaust will
recognize the Armenian Genocide.

There are some preconditions and bases for it. Mainly, Turkish Armed
Forces Headquarters asked Israel for buying the anti-aircraft system
"Barack". But, according to Israeli media, Israel refused to comply
with the request. One of the reasons of refusal is that Tel-Aviv is
afraid that after selling the system, it may appear in the hands of
Iran, Israeli news agencies note.

So, the Armenian Genocide resolution is discussed today in rather
anti-Turkish atmosphere.
