YEREVAN, JANUARY 23, ARMENPRESS: Armenian National Committee
of Jerusalem has great expectations from newly elected Israeli
Parliemant. Representative of the Committee Hakob Sevan noted in the
interview with Armenpress that despite it was early to speak about
concrete expectations therefore it was a crucal step that "Meretz"
party, presenting resolution on the recognition of Armenian Genocide,
doubled its power in Knesset.
"Almost 50 new people appeared in Knesset; a lot of them are advocating
Armenia. Their entrance to Knesset is a very positive phenomenon; works
will be carried out with other deputies of Parliament in two months. We
should take into consideration the changes that elections made in the
political map of Israel. Armenian National Committee of Jerusalem is
also going to cooperate with them," Sevan said adding, in any case
they had positive expectations from the newly elected Parliament.
Elections for the 19th Knesset were held in Israel on 22 January 2013.
Originally, public debate over the Tal Law nearly led to an early
election in 2012, but this was aborted at the last moment after Kadima
briefly joined the government. The elections were later called in early
October 2012 after failure to agree on the budget for the fiscal year
2013. On 22 January 2013, exit polls showed Likud-Beitenu projected
to get 31 seats and Yesh Atid 19 seats.
