"Genocidal jealousy" of Israeli Ambassador and his view on relations  with Armenia 

"Genocidal jealousy" of Israeli Ambassador and his view on relations  with Armenia 

ArmInfo. The newly appointed Israeli Ambassador to Armenia Eliav Belotserkovsky (residence in Jerusalem) refrained from using the term Armenian Genocide, referring to the events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.

Thus, in an interview with journalists in Yerevan on the question of  a possible change in the position of Israel on the recognition of the  Armenian Genocide, he, in particular, said: "It was a terrible  tragedy. This is truly one of the worst acts of intentional killing  in the 20th century history and in human history. And, of course, the  Jewish people and Israel actively oppose this. This issue has been  voiced in our parliament".  However, the Ambassador urged to wait for  further developments. Answering the journalist's question, whether he  purposefully avoids the use of the term genocide, the Israeli  diplomat assured that the question is not what word is used to  describe this terrible tragedy. "I think that the history of this  terrible tragedy must be dealt with in order to prevent its  reoccurrence", he said, apparently forgetting about the existence of  another term that characterizes a similiar terrible tragedy, and  which Yerevan does not fear to use, not giving Jerusalem about .

At the same time, answering the question of whether the  Azerbaijani-Israeli good relations would hinder the establishment of  effective interaction between Israel and Armenia, Belotserskovsky  stated that the official Jerusalem, like Yerevan, has its own  interests and relations with different countries, which consist of  different components that, in his estimation, is quite natural.  "Relations with Armenia are among the priorities, and we will  strengthen them," he stressed.

He also assured that Israel is interested in opening a hub near the  city of Gyumri, and if this project is successfully implemented, then  it will involve Israeli businessmen and make it clear that there are  many other similar opportunities in Armenia.

The Ambassador also evaded to answer the clarifying question whether  he had discussed at the meeting with the Armenian President the issue  of Israel's sale of weapons to Azerbaijan. He assured that Israel as  well as Armenia is building its own relations. "Our task today is to  strengthen relations with Armenia," the diplomat summed up.

To note, ArmInfo has prepared the article using the recording of the  press conference, kindly provided to us by our colleagues. The press  conference was held on special invitations. The criteria by which the  questioners were chosen are at least strange. Certainly, it was not  based on the principle of the presence of deep interest of this or  that media in the Armenian-Israeli problems, not to mention the  problems of a Middle East settlement.  It turned out to be  Hebraically, as the word says.
