    AZERBAIJANI MPS TO LOBBY AGAINST GENOCIDE BILL IN ISRAEL

    Azerbaijan

    Yevda Abramov Members of the Azerbaijani-Israeli inter-parliamentary
    group will leave for Tel Aviv on 4 May.

    'The Azerbaijani parliamentarians will do their utmost during the
    visit to Israel to prevent the Knesset adopting the resolution
    on the Armenian genocide,' Milli Majlis Deputy Yevda Abramov told
    Novosti-Azerbaijan today.

    The Azerbaijani MPs will discuss the development of bilateral
    relations in different spheres, including on the parliamentary level,
    Yevda Abramov said, but the main issue on the agenda is the genocide
    question.

    The Meretz faction in the Knesset has proposed recognizing the killings
    of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as 'genocide'.

    He said the Azerbaijani deputies would try to persuade Israeli
    parliamentarians that discussion and recognition of the 'Armenian
    genocide' did not meet the national interests of Israel.

    'Tel Aviv understands full well that the recognition of the
    "Armenian genocide" by Israel will damage relations between Israel
    and Azerbaijan,' Abramov said.

    Yevda Abramov represents the Jewish community of Azerbaijan.
