Former Israeli Ambassador to Azerbaijan: “The document on “Armenian genocide†cannot be adopted in Israeli Parliamentâ€

He said that it should be discussed by historians and should not become means of political struggle.
“Israel is a democratic state. Few members of Knesset wanted to raise the issue on “Armenian genocide†to discussion. This is their position. The position of Israeli state on this issue has not changed. I think that historians should take a stance on this issue. When I was ambassador there was an attempt to raise “Armenian genocide†to discussion in the Parliament. But this attempt failed. I am sure this will repeat again and wish of few persons will not be taken into considerationâ€, he said.
Touching upon Israel’s relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey, the former ambassador noted that friendly relations were developing.
“People change, but interests remain and friendly relations are developing with this regardâ€, he said.
