In an interview with Israel’s Public Broadcasting Corporation, Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said that Armenia has an expectation from Israel to recognize the Armenian Genocide. He also addressed Israel’s continued arms sales to Azerbaijan, saying that “trade of arms is not like trading vegetable,” warning that such practices have their “dark side.”

“The two nations have gone through the horrors of genocide. Many scholars, many politicians consider that in case of adequate condemnation of the Armenian Genocide it could have been possible to prevent Shoah and other genocides. That is why of course, we are expecting that Israel will officially recognize the Armenian Genocide,” said Nalbandian.

“We believe that more and more people in Israel favor the recognition, including in the Parliament. I had a meeting with the Chairman of the Knesset. He again expressed his very clear position of the importance of the recognition by Knesset of the Armenian Genocide,” Nalbandian added.
