Jerusalem Patriarchate Objects to Removed Genocide Resolution

The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem has condemned the removal of a genocide recognition proposal from a Knesset vote, attributing the decision to Azerbaijani pressure on Israeli lawmakers.

In a formal statement, the Patriarchate called on Israel and Turkey to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. The organization emphasized its role in preserving historical documentation and truth surrounding the 1915 mass killings.

The incident reflects ongoing diplomatic tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, with third-party nations occasionally caught between competing interests. The Patriarchate's statement underscores the Armenian diaspora's continued advocacy for international genocide recognition, a longstanding priority for Armenian communities worldwide.
