There is no chance for the Israeli Parliament to recognize the
so-called Armenian genocide, the president of International Association
"Israel-Azerbaijan" Joseph Chagall said.
About 115 of 120 MPs of the Israeli Parliament act against the
recognition of the so-called Armenian genocide, he told Trend in Baku.
"Only five MPs are trying to manipulate this issue," he said. "But
they have no chance as it is not in the interests of the state."
He said that Israel will never recognize the independence of the
so-called "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic". "This is the land of Azerbaijan
and must be returned to Azerbaijan," he said.
He said that the conflict must be resolved peacefully through
negotiations.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
