RA Prime Minister:  Israeli Prime Minister`s statement on Armenian  Genocide does not meet Armenia`s interests 

ArmInfo. It is obvious that the statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the Armenian Genocide has nothing to do with the interests of either the Republic of Armenia or the Armenian people, as stated by Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a briefing in Yerevan on August 28.

"In general, we need to understand do we want the recognition or  non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide to be a geopolitical coin in  the hands of others, which has nothing to do with the interests of  our state and the interests of the people. Do we want the issue of  the Armenian Genocide to be used in an interview in a random context?  I do not want our martyrs to in such a status. We must focus on our  interests," Pashinyan said, pointing out that many states and  structures have recognized the fact of the Armenian Genocide, and now  there is a need to understand and take stock of what the Armenian  people and the Armenian state have gained from this. "This must be  done so that our martyrs do not turn into a geopolitical bargaining  chip," the head of government noted. He added that during  conversations with the leaders of several states that have recognized  the Armenian Genocide, he tried to understand the motivation of these  states. According to Pashinyan, the main motivation for this step was  to get more votes in political elections, which has nothing to do  with the interests of Armenia.
