Armenian community of Israel hopeful Genocide issue will be put on Knesset agenda
The Armenian community of Israel hopes that the Armenian Genocide recognition issue will be introduced into the Knesset's agenda after the parliamentary vacation finishing May 18.
"Zeev Elkin continues lobbying the hearings. True, we come across fierce opposition of the Azeri lobby. Knesset members allegedly representing Baku's interests, as a matter of fact, act on orders from Turkey. Unfortunately, Israel depends on Turkey," head of the Jerusalem Hai Dat Office, Dr Georgette Avakian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Anyway, the Armenian community is optimistic. Meetings between the Armenian and Israeli parliamentary groups have become more frequent recently. We suppose that this fact can be positive for the Armenian Genocide debate in Knesset," she said.
