APA reports quoting “Izrus” that the initiators of the discussions are Zakhava Galyon (MERETZ party), Zeev Elkin (“Likud”) and Professor Ayeh Eldad (Ikhud Leumi). Knesset’s Speaker Reuven Rivlin supported this proposal and appointed a special plenary meeting for discussions.

In his speech, Chairman of parliamentary coalition of Likud Party Zeev Elkin said that “the issue of recognition of tragedy of Armenian people wasn’t included in agenda over the decades. It was impossible to change seriously this issue in recent years. Knesset must recognize the Armenian genocide”.

MP Reuven Rivlin said that “one cannot turn the issue of tragedy of Armenian people into the political tool for punishing Turkey. We don’t accuse modern Turkey of committing genocide and don’t lay a claim to the Turkish government”.
