/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A large number of political observers suppose that
tensions between Israel and Turkey can lead to recognition of the
Armenian Genocide by Tel Aviv.
"The issue has acquired quite a different coloring lately. I formed
and headed Israel-Armenia parliamentary friendship group in 1999.
Knesset members Yuri Stern and Zeev Elkin have also done much to
advance the process," Alexander Tsinker, director of East European
States & CIS. Institute, member of the Knesset in 1999-2003, told
PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Unfortunately, the RA leadership disregards the Armenian community in
Israel. Meanwhile, positive results can be achieved through formation
of correct public opinion. As an optimist, I am hopeful that I will
see Israel pass a law on recognition of the Armenian Genocide one day,"
he said.
