Armenia
In the Knesset of Israel the discussions over the Armenian Genocide
was accepted in the agenda of the parliament with 12 for and 8 against
votes yesterday.
The idea of discussing the issue was with the MP of left side MEREC
party Khaim Oron.
As the news.ru.co.il informs Oron said in his speech, "They ask me why
do you touch that issue. Let’s leave the history to open the facts"…
but we do not appear with a concrete statement, we do not speak
about the compensation, and we do not speak about resumption of
anyone’s rights."
"It’s important for us to make the Israeli people, Knesset in this
case, recognize the tragedy of another nation. The Armenian nation
needs us to be in the number of those parliaments which overpass 20,
and which have recognized the fact of the Genocide"
Dov Khanin also has showed a positive position for the Armenians.
"We, more than anyone else, can understand the pain of another nation,
who has been committed to mass exterminations. Recognizing is our
moral duty," Khanin said.
The fact that Kh. Oron’s initiation will be accepted was clear form
the very beginning of the discussions, the source says. The question
was in which commission will it be discussed before the voting.
