/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Knesset
is possible, according to the head of Israel-Azerbaijan association.

"The calls of Turkish intellectuals to recognize the 1915 events
as Genocide received a logical response in Israel. If Turks are
discussing this issue, we can do it too, Israeli politicians suppose,"
Yosef Shagal said.

"All depends on how persistent Israel Our Home party will be in
strengthening the Baku-Ankara-Jerusalem strategic axis. At that,
other countries can play the ‘Armenian card’ and iterate Oron and
Elkin’s attempt," he said.

"As to my position, it’s unchangeable: ongoing discussion of the
subject can damage Israel’s state interests," Shagal added, Day.az
reports.

Yosef Shagal, Russian-speaking lobbyist of the Israeli-Turkic
strategic alliance announced his intention to give up politics in
the near future and return to journalism.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
