ArmInfo. Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel from the Middle East dynamics does not depend. 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.

Turkey persistently 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 the Church, and other authoritative international organizations. Holocaust survived Israel, did not recognize the Armenian Genocide either.
"I do not think that the fears expressed by Yerevan regarding the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel somehow can affect the Armenian-Israeli relations. Especially in light of similar concerns expressed by most countries in the world. In my opinion, our relations with Armenia and the recognition of Jerusalem are two completely different topics, "he said.

The problems of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are not being resolved, as the peace process is frozen. This is a reality, "the Israeli political scientist summed up.
