ArmInfo. Israel's recognition of the historical fact - the Armenian Genocide is real, but it will not happen now - the process is in progress and it takes a certain  amount of time. A member of the Israeli Knesset of the 15th  convocation, President of ICES - International Expert Center of  Electoral Systems Alexander Tsinker, expressed such an opinion to  ArmInfo.

"Speaking of the process, I mean lobbying for the recognition of the  Armenian Genocide by various public trends in our country. Our  Israel-Armenia public forum also addresses this issue, much in this  direction is taken by the head of the Israel-Armenia  interparliamentary friendship group, our Vice-Speaker Tali Ploskov  The number of parliamentarians supporting the recognition of the  Armenian Genocide is consistently growing in all factions of the  Knesset.The recognition of the need to recognize the Armenian  Genocide by the majority of Israeli citizens opinion polls," the  political scientist said.

On the whole, having positively commented on the intention of Yashi  Lapid, the leader of the party, he would submit to the Knesset a bill  on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Tsinker noted that the  chances of influencing the recognition of the Genocide were much  greater when he was Minister of Finance and his party in the ruling  coalition.

As a more realistic way to achieve the recognition of the Armenian  Genocide by Armenians, Tsinker considers the transfer of relevant  materials already in place and approved by the parliamentary  commission on history, culture and education for consideration and  voting in the Knesset. The political scientist believes that in the  case of a vote "for" the recognition of the Genocide by parties  periodically asserting the need for recognition of the Genocide,  there really will be a real chance of solving this issue.

On April 24, 2015, the Armenians marked a mournful date - the 100th  anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Western Armenia, whose  victims were 1.5 million Armenians. Turkey stubbornly refuses to  recognize the fact of the Armenian Genocide recognized by the  majority of US states, more than two dozen countries, the Vatican,  the European Parliament, the World Council of Churches, and other  authoritative international organizations. Holocaust survivors Israel  did not recognize the Armenian Genocide either.
