The Israeli Parliament will not submitted the fictional "Armenian
genocide" issue for discussions, Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan
Hulusi Kilic told journalists today.
"Our position is that the parliamentarians should give an opportunity
to historians to study this issue. I think that Israeli Parliament
will not take a false step," Kilic said.
According to him, Turkey has many friends in Israel.
The meeting of the Left parties faction represented in the Knesset
adopted a decision on submitting the fictional " Armenian genocide"
for discussions.
Twenty MPs participated in the voting, 12 of whom voted for the
decision and eight - against. The decision has been represented to
the Israeli Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Relations and Defence.
Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against
Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Making greater efforts to promote
the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its recognition
by parliaments in some countries.
