Armenian Genocide issue bears political nature for Israel – expertApril 25, 2013 - 00:28 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - No decision regarding Israel’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide was taken during the recent discussion in Knesset, according to political expert Mikhail Osherov. “Armenian Genocide recognition would spoil relations with Turkey, following Israel’s apology for the deaths of 9 Turkish citizens on Gaza-bound flotilla,” he said. “Besides, Azerbaijani foreign minister is currently on his visit to Israel, with aggression against Iran possibly discussed. Thus, it would be a non-diplomatic step to recognize the Armenian Genocide now,” the expert said, adding that the issue bears merely a political character.
