Turkey "not worried" about Armenian Genocide discussions in Knesset
Turkey 'is not worried' about the Armenian Genocide discussions in the Israeli Knesset, said the President of the Center for Eurasian Strategic Studies.
"Attempts to push such resolutions in the Knesset were repeatedly made but they all proved vain. Turkey and Israel are partners in many fields. I don't think that the Knesset will arrive at a positive decision on the issue," Farouk Lologlu said, 1news.az reports.
On 26 March, the Knesset decided to bring the Armenian Genocide issue into discussion in one of parliamentary panels. Zeev Elkin of Kadima offered to debate in the committee on education and culture while Joseph Shagal insisted on discussions in committee on external affairs and defense.
Some Turkish politicians apprehend tensions in the Israeli-Turkish relations.
