Israeli Knesset will not recognize “Armenian genocide”, Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel Danny Ayalon said, Haberturk reported. “Knesset has no chance to recognize the genocide. We can not harm relations with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is our strategic partner in the Islamic world. We can not break our relationship for the events happened hundred years ago”, the deputy minister said. Ayalon noted that Israeli government is against the populist decisions and doesn’t accept such behaviors.
Knesset’s Committee on Education, Culture and Sports is panning to put the false “Armenian genocide” issue on agenda early in December. MPs from Likud Party are interested in inclusion of this issue in agenda, but MPs from “Israel- Our Home” Party are against it and saying that it would seriously harm the Israel-Azerbaijan relations.
