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 consideration”, 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 regard”, he said.
