Rimma Varzhapetyan: U.S. and Israel may recognize Armenian Genocide within next 5 yearsAugust 12, 2010 - 12:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The fact that the Israeli government refrains from using the term Genocide doesn’t mean that it doesn’t recognize the Armenian Genocide, according to the chairperson of the Jewish community of Armenia. “The Jewish community of Armenia has repeatedly addressed the Knesset with a request to recognize the Armenian Genocide. However, there are nuances conditioned by security and economic issues. Anyway, U.S. and Israel may recognize Armenian Genocide within next five years,” Rimma Varzhapetyan told a news conference in Yerevan. “We are confident that Knesset will hold another discussion in the Armenian Genocide,” she added. Mrs. Varzhapetyan also noted that possible recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel should not be linked to worsening of Turkish-Israeli relations.
