Two members of the Israeli parliament will reportedly represent Israel at the upcoming commemorations in Yerevan of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
“The Jerusalem Post” reported on Tuesday that the Israeli government asked the Knesset to send a delegation to Armenia after being formally invited by the Armenian authorities to the April 24 ceremonies. It said the Knesset delegation will comprise two members: Anat Berko of the Likud party and Nachman Shai of the Zionist Union alliance.
“This is an event of deep historic significance,” Shai told the paper. “For the first time in 100 years, the international community is finally recognizing the great injustice.”
