YEREVAN. – In case Israel makes attempts of regulating relations with Armenia, it may be conditioned with the ‘Turkish factor,’ secretary of parliamentary oppositional ARF Dashnaksutyun group Artyusha Shahbazyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“The fact that Israel-Turkey relations are deteriorating is not a secret. Thus, the statement of Knesset Speaker on working on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide is conditioned by this fact. Generally, I see nothing bad that the current situation may stimulate the development of Armenian-Israeli relations,” Shahbazyan stated.

Israeli Izrus.co agency quoting competent Israeli source on Wednesday reported that an Armenian high-ranking official, whose name is not disclosed, made a get-to-know visit to Israel.
