In Israel's Parliament Knesset yesterday, a resolution on the so-called
Armenian genocide was turned back by a vote of 16-12. Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert, Parliament Speaker Dalia Itzik and Foreign Minister
Tzipi Livni reportedly pressured on the deputies to reject the
motion. In addition, Turkey's Ambassador to Tel Aviv Namik Tan also
worked against the resolution, warning deputies that should it come
to a vote, it would damage Turkish-Israeli relations. The resolution
proposed that Israel recognize April 24 as the commemoration day of
the so-called Armenian genocide.
