    Israel Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said "the term Holocaust is
    inapplicable in reference to any other tragedy," Panarmenina.net
    reported.

    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian responded to Lieberman
    calling for Israel to recognize the Armenian genocide allegations.

    Nalbandian urged Israel to stop the "play of words," referring to a
    statement from the chairman of the Holocaust Institute, Israel Charny.

    Nalbandian quoted Israel Charny, founder and director of the Jerusalem
    Institute of Holocaust and Genocide: "Everyone in Israel must realize:
    Charny knew the meanings of both the Holocaust and the Genocide."

    Nalbandian also said the term Holocaust was never used to describe the
    Armenian "genocide."
