    "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE" DISCUSSIONS NOT TO GO OUT OF KNESSET COMMISSION'S FRAMES

    Azerbaijan

    The Azerbaijani MP is confident that the discussions over so-called
    "Armenian genocide" will not go out frames of Israel's parliament
    commission.

    "The people have the right to make proposals and they are not deprived
    of this right," the Chairman of a working group on interparliamentary
    ties Azerbaijan-Israel, MP Yevda Abramov told Trend on Monday. "We are
    confident that the Israeli-Azerbaijan relations as well as Israel's
    attempts to improve relations with Turkey and on the contrary,
    Turkey's aspiration to improve ties with Israel for the sake of peace
    in the region, do not allow this matter to turn into the subject of
    broad discussion."

    During the recent visit to Azerbaijan the Israeli Foreign Ministry
    Director General Rafael Barak also stressed this matter will not go
    out the commission's framework, Abramov said.

    Some members of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) intend to discuss
    the matter of fictional so-called "Armenian genocide" at a meeting
    of commission on education, culture and sport.

    The Israeli parliament consists of many parties, and one of them -
    Merets party tries to get into the mainstream of events and processes
    once or twice a year, said Azerbaijani MP.

    According to Abramov, including in the Knesset's commission agenda
    the matter of "Armenian genocide" is connected with the adoption
    of a bill criminalizing denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide"
    by the lower France's parliament the other day.

    "Some members of the Israeli Knesset under the influence include the
    matter of "Armenian genocide" in the agenda," Abramov said.

    The relations established by the Israeli parliament's members with
    Azerbaijan and Turkey, give the framework to suggest that after
    discussions, the committee will again decide not to submit it at a
    plenary session of Knesset, he noted.

    The Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of
    the Turkey - Ottoman Empire had committed the 1915 genocide against
    the Armenians living in Anadolu, and achieved recognition of the
    "Armenian Genocide" by the parliaments of several countries.
