The Israeli Parliament will not discuss the
so-called Armenian genocide issue, Azeri MP Yevda Abramov said.

He said he talked to Israeli parliamentarians who told him the so-called Armenian genocide issue would not be discussed at the Knesset.
"Today, I got in touch with the leaders of the Israeli parliament. They stated that discussion over the issue of fictional "Armenian genocide" in the Knesset was completely withdrawn from the agenda.
