Viewing Israel`s initiative to recognize Armenian Genocide as purely  political means vewing efforts to deny Genocide as purely political -  professor 

ArmInfo.Doctor of Law, Professor Gevorg Danielyan presented a course of action that would once and for all eliminate the issue of the Armenian Genocide as a pretext for mere political speculation.

"If we consider Israel's initiative to recognize the Armenian  Genocide to be purely political, and this is true, then it is all the  more logical that the desire to deny the Armenian Genocide and keep  silent about it should also be considered purely political for the  same reason. States, including Armenia, should not simply accept and  condemn the Armenian Genocide, but, relying on the judicial acts of  the Turkish military tribunals of 1919-21, which established "the  fact of mass extermination of Armenians on ethnic grounds, organized  by the state-party elite for ethnic reasons," move on to a legitimate  demand for the restoration of the previous status quo in  international instances. Moreover, the Armenian Genocide is genocide  in the classical sense, since it continued even after the entry into  force of the Convention of December 9, 1948, condemning the Genocide.  In particular, the main motive of the genocide was the appropriation  of historical territories and the entire culture of Armenians, and if  the latter is impossible, the complete destruction of its elements,  which is a manifestation of genocide. This continues consistently to  this day "day," the professor noted on his Facebook page.

He added that while we accept international recognition of the  Armenian Genocide as a starting point but ignore legally binding  judicial decisions, we are depriving millions of Armenian victims of  even the opportunity to receive insurance compensation for lost  property, as happened with New York Life Insurance and AXA, both  US-based insurance companies. "In connection with the latter, I have  personally coordinated legal assistance since 2007," Danielyan noted.

As a reminder, the previous day, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon  Saar's proposal to recognize the mass killings of Armenians in the  Ottoman Empire during World War I as genocide received unanimous  government approval. "It's never too late to do the right thing,"  Saar said after the vote at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday,  June 28. This decision will complicate relations between Israel and  Turkey, the successor state to the Ottoman Empire. In 2025, Benjamin  Netanyahu became the first Israeli prime minister to recognize those  tragic events as genocide.
