Speaker of Israel’s Knesset Yuli Edelstein expects that coalition and opposition will come together to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
He is hopeful that the Knesset will do it officially soon, The Jerusalem Post reported.
At the same time Edelstein added that the decision has nothing to do with flexing muscles at Turkey, while the move is not coordinated with the Israeli government.
“The Armenians are not our greatest friends. They n ever vote with us in the UN. I don’t expect anything in return; this is not a political decision,” he explained.
