Time chosen for discussions over the Armenian Genocide in the Knesset
is not linked to events or Israel-Turkey relations, Merets MP Zahava
Galon told Armenian News-NEWS.am. Discussions on the topic are held
on her initiative.
"The party raises the issue every year prior to the April 24 [the
Remembrance Day of Armenian Genocide victims] based on moral values.
This year was not an exception. It is a matter of values, which should
not be linked to foreign policy or influence on the foreign deals,"
she said adding continuous discussions and debates in the Knesset
promote the recognition of the crimes perpetrated against Armenians.
To note, the parliament speaker stated on Tuesday during the hearings
on Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey that Israel is obliged to remember
killings of more than a million Armenians.
