Knesset will never recognize Armenian Genocide – Israeli official

There is no chance that Israel will recognize the Armenian Genocide, it is impossible, said country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon.

Last week Committee on Education, Culture and Sports of the Israeli Knesset accepted the demand to discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition in the parliament.

"We can not afford damaging relations with Azerbaijan our main strategic partner I the Muslim world because of controversial historical issues relating to the events which happened a century ago," SIA quotes Ayalon.

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said the recognition of "Armenian genocide was impossible: "Knesset will not recognize "Armenian genocide".

The position of Israeli President Shimon Peres is also unambiguous. He expressed his view on this issue in 2001.

"It is meaningless to say that Armenians underwent genocide like the Jews. Comparison of Armenians with Jews in the genocide issue is inadmissible," he said.
