Many Knesset members rate Armenian Genocide recognition to moral duty

PanARMENIAN.Net - Discussion of the Armenian Genocide in Israel's Knesset is an extraordinary phenomenon and we are hopeful for a logical development, Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan.



"All parties represented in the Knesset voted for introduction of the issue into the agenda. Discussions will start in May, after the vacation. The issue will be possibly transferred from the committee on education to the committee on security. Knesset member Haim Oron and Hay Dat Jerusalem Office are working for the same purpose," he said, adding, "Many Knesset members rate the Armenian Genocide recognition to their moral duty."



On March 26, Merets party proposed to put the Armenian Genocide issue on the Knesset's agenda.
