The fact that Israeli Agriculture Minister Orit Noked visited the
memorial to the victims of the Armenian genocide in Yerevan and made a
note in the book for top ranked guests, is very much important. Today,
when the Knesset has been making another attempts for adoption of a
decision on recognition of the genocide, the viewpoint of every member
of the parliament, especially if he is a member of the government,
costs much, a deputy of the Knesset of XV convocation, Director of the
Institute of Eastern European and CIS Countries, Dr.Alexander Zinker,
told Arminfo correspondent.
When commenting on possible further steps for making political and
economic bridges between Armenia and Israel, Zinker said that Noked's
visit to Armenia is remarkable as it was the first official visit
by a representative of the Israeli government to Armenia over the 20
years of diplomatic relations between the two states. He also added
that for the last years Israel has been trying to make its activity
at the South Caucasus more active, as it watches the countries of
the former USSR like possible strategic partners in this region.
"The relations of Israel with Azerbaijan and Georgia, developing up
and down, have become more effective today. Perhaps, the time has
come to start looking for mutual interests and moving the trade and
economic relations between our countries from zero as well. I think
one must not consider Israeli minister's visit to Armenia like a
serious breakthrough in the bilateral relations. Of course, one
cannot yet say that "ice broke up", but one can say for sure that
"it has started cracking" , - Israeli expert concluded.
