"Relations between countries should be established on the basis of neighbourliness, not resolutions recognizing any genocide," Israeli Deputy Speaker Mikha'el Nudelman, who is the head of the Israeli-Azerbaijani parliamentary friendship group, told MPA news agency when commenting on Armenia's activity to achieve worldwide recognition of the "Armenian genocide" [the killing of Armenians in the Ottoman empire in 1915]. The diplomat believes that such resolutions arouse national dissension. The deputy speaker said that unlike Armenia, Israel did not "push" the genocide of the Jewish people through parliaments of other countries and international
organizations, including the UN.

Asked about the possibility of this issue being considered in the Israeli parliament, Nudelman said that this would damage relations with Azerbaijan.
