meeting and his position will not be debated.
Shagal said Meres Party is left party and has only five mandates in
the parliament.
"I met with the party leader Yosi Beyn and parliamentarian Khaynmar
Aron and told them that it is not right to make speech about it now.
I reminded that according to the official Isarel's position, issue
on Armenian genocide is not discussed in the country," he said.
Shagal said that MPs has the right to make speech on any theme.
"Khaynmar will say that genocide was committed against Armenians
and note that Israel is indifferent to the fact. No discussions
are expected to be held over this. According to the parliament's
regulation the member of coalition will respond to the opposition
and says that they have heard their position. Health Minister will
answer to Aron's speech," he said.
Commenting on making analogous speech on March 31 - Day of Azerbaijani
Genocide, Iosif Shagal said that his country does not discuss issues
on genocide.
"The parliament receives new documents about the genocide committed
against Azerbaijanis, and they have not been analyzed yet. As the
head of Israel-Azerbaijan interparliamentary association I will do
my best for these documents to be analyzed. We will have discussions
with Azerbaijani and Israeli specialists and prominent historians
of the world. If we find documents proving the genocide, I will do
my best for the discussion of this issue in Israeli parliament,"
Iosif Shagal said.
