The recognition of Armenian Genocide was and is always a topic of our dialogue with Israel.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Edward Nalbandian, noted the aforesaid speaking to i24NEWS television of Israel.

When asked whether this matter had been a topic during his meetings in Israel, he responded as follows: 

“It was and it is always a topic of our dialogue. As I said, two nations passed through the horrors of genocide. Many scholars, many politicians consider that in case of adequate condemnation of the Armenian Genocide maybe could be possible to prevent Shoah and other genocides. That is why of course, we are expecting that Israel will recognize officially the Armenian Genocide. We feel that in the public opinion of Israel more and more people are in favor of the recognition, including in the Parliament. Yesterday I had a meeting with the Chairman of the Knesset. He again expressed his very clear position of the importance of the recognition by Knesset of the Armenian Genocide.”
