    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BILL AGAIN ON ISRAEL'S PARLIAMENT AGENDA

    Tert.am

    On April 28 the Armenian Genocide issue was included in the Israeli
    parliament agenda.

    Haim Oron, the leader of the left-wing opposition Meretz party and
    the initiator of the bill, presented the issue for about 15 minutes
    followed by a hot discussion, Artak Grigoryan, specialist in Israeli
    studies told Tert.am.

    The bill was included in the Knesset agenda by a 12 "for" and 8
    "against" votes provided that one of its standing committees will
    discuss the resolution and determine whether it should be put to a
    full parliament vote.

    The Israeli authorities shall decide on the issue within the coming
    two weeks.

    As it was in previous times this year too the Israeli government drew
    a negative conclusion over the issue with many MP voting against it.

    However the bill was included in the agenda.

    Experts say this is the third consecutive year the Armenian Genocide
    is brought on the Knesset agenda - but yet to no avail.

    What makes this year's initiative special is that the issue was
    discussed in the Knesset longer than ever and the pro-Armenian speeches
    were much more compared with previous years.

    "To be realistic, there can hardly be any development in this
    direction as the political atmosphere is not favorable for it,"
    said Artak Grigoryan while talking to Tert.am
