Israeli Parliament Rejects Recognizing So-called Armenian Genocide
Published: 3/15/2007
JERUSALEM – The Israeli parliament (Knesset) has rejected a motion
about recognition of so-called Armenian genocide.
The motion was earlier submitted by MP Haim Oron of the central
leftist Meretz Party to the parliament to declare April 24th as the
commemoration day for so-called Armenian genocide.
Israel having both diplomatic and bilateral relations with Turkey,
has never recognized so-called Armenian genocide officially.
