The Armenian community in Israel is looking forward to the discussions
of the resolution on recognition of the Armenian Genocide at Israeli
Knesset expected in October. Hakob Sevan head of the Armenian Cause
Office in Jerusalem told Armenpress that Knesset is in vacation
during these days. "The discussion will take place in October but we
are in touch with the members of the Education Commission which will
discuss the issue and are aware of the developments. Some members of
Knesset, political figures, intellectuals are raising the issue on
their personal initiative", he said.
Speaking about the possibility of recognition of the Armenian Genocide,
Sevan pointed out that the chances have increased recently.
"I think today Israel will try to use the Armenian Cause for exerting
pressure on Turkey", he said, stressing that the recent changes in the
policy of Israel relating to the Armenian cause are turning points. It
may also be seen in the appearance of Foreign Ministry of Israel which
has become more Armenian-oriented. "We believe in our final victory",
Sevan said.
