    on a panel to discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition issue.

    During the session, Knesset members Zeev Elkin and Joseph Shagal,
    who hold opposition opinion the issue, entered a hot debate.

    "Elkin, as a chairman of Israel-Armenia interparliamentary group,
    initiated the discussion together with Haim Oron. Israel has held a
    neutral position on the issue for 60 years. All my attempts to warn
    about inexpedience of the move were fruitless," Shagal said.
