Although Armenia does not have its embassy in Israel and Israel does
not have an embassy in Armenia, the relations between the two states
are warm and friendly, Consul of Israel to the South Caucasus
countries on repatriation issues, Ron Shekhter, said at today's
press-conference in Yerevan when replying to Arminfo correspondent's
question.
The diplomat does not share a viewpoint, according to which the
relations between Yerevan and Tel-Aviv are rather cool. At the same
time he declined to comment on the reasons of absence of Armenia's
embassy in Israel and Israel's embassy in Armenia. Israel's
non-resident ambassador to Armenia is accredited in Jerusalem.
Israel's Consulate has been functioning in Tbilisi and is mainly
dealing with delivery of tourist visas to Armenian citizens.
He also added that very few people in Israel are aware of Armenia,
although the situation has been gradually changing to better for the
last period of time. "Citizens of Israel like to travel in all over
the world very much. I think there are many interesting places in
Armenia and it will be interesting for my compatriots to visit
Armenia", - he said.
To recall, the Minister of Information and Diaspora of Israel Yuli
Edelstein is arriving in Yerevan tonight. The delegation headed by hum
will participate in celebrations dedicated to the 20th anniversary of
the Jewish Community of Armenia. The minister will have several
working meetings during his visit.
