With 12 pros and 8 cons the Israeli Knesset approved Thursday a
motion to discuss the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in one of
its committees.

Haim Oron, a supporter of the Genocide issue in the parliament,
delivered a 15-minute speech on the issue, the discussion took
25 minutes.

Oron wants the committee to recognize the Armenian genocide, pointing
out that similar recognition has been afforded recently by the French
parliament and the United States Congress.

"It is appropriate that the Israeli Knesset, which represents the
Jewish people, recognize the Armenian genocide," said Oron. "It is
unacceptable that the Jewish people is not making itself heard."
