Israel’s Knesset discussed another Armenian Genocide-related measure on Wednesday dealing with assigning a memorial day for the Genocide, Asbarez reports.
The Israeli parliament decided that its Education and Culture Committee discuss this new measure and make recommendation to the Knesset, reported Armenian National Committee of Jerusalem member Hagop Sevan.
The measure, introduced by Knesset member Arie Eldad, envisions educational programs and curricula on the Armenian Genocide to be taught on April 24.
The one vote against the proposal came from a Knesset member who is of Azeri descent, the newspaper writes.
The Israeli government representative, Uzi Landau commented that while the government believes that Armenia and Turkey must address this issue among themselves, the government does not oppose to the discussion of the measure by the Knesset committee.
