Media reports on erecting memorial to Armenian "genocide" in Israeli city are untrue

16 September 2009 [12:02] - TODAY.AZ
The Armenian media reports claiming that the first memorial to victims of the so-called Armenian "genocide" will be erected in the Israeli town of Petach Tikva are untrue, Hezy Hakak, official of the City Hall of Petach Tikva said.
"These reports are not true," said Hakak.

On Wednesday, PanARMENIAN.Net reported that the municipal authorities of Petach Tikva agreed to erect a memorial for the victims of the 1915 Armenian "genocide".

Despite the fact that the issue of the Armenian "genocide" was several times put on the agenda of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset rejected it. The Israeli government also does not recognize the so-called Armenian "genocide".
