Ninety percent of Israeli citizens speak for recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Tel-Aviv.
News.co.il website conducted a survey among Israeli citizens to reveal whether the country should recognize the Armenian Genocide. A total of 1886 respondents out of 2000 said Armenian Genocide should be recognized.
Last week Committee on Education, Culture and Sports of the Israeli Knesset accepted the demand to discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition in the parliament.
Meanwhile, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said there is no chance that Israel will recognize the Armenian Genocide.
“We cannot afford damaging relations with our main strategic partner Azerbaijan because of some controversial historical issues relating to the events which happened a century ago,” IzRus website quotes Ayalon.
Knesset’s education committee is headed by Alex Miller, member of Israel is Our Home parliamentary group and Ayalon’s party fellow.
