The possibility of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide increases
in the Israeli Knesset, according to Kiro Manoyan, head of the ARF
Armenian Cause and Political Affairs Office. Today in an interview
with Armenpress he commented on the Knesset Education and Culture
Committee's claim to discuss the issue of the Armenian Genocide at
the parliament.

The issue was presented to the committee by Meretz left-wing party,
which was supported by Likud party, the leader of which is Prime
Minister Netanyahu.

Kiro Manoyan said he hopes that after such a decision the issue of
the Armenian Genocide recognition will get a positive settlement,
as "the Knesset's coalition parties were for the issue and confirmed
that it is time for the recognition of the Genocide".

Kiro Manoyan says the number of the Israeli society representatives,
who are for the recognition, increases and this is mainly connected
with the fact that Israel's relations with Turkey are not on a
good state.
