🇦🇲🚫🇮🇱 — In a speech to the Armenian parliament, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan criticized Israel for the way it announced its recognition of the Armenian genocide, using it as an example of countries cynically exploiting the suffering of the Armenian people for their own purposes. Pashinyan stated the following:

"We decided that international recognition of the Armenian genocide would not be a priority of our foreign policy. And while we were formulating explanations for our society about why we made that decision, the events themselves provided a compelling explanation. Recently, the Israeli government, with incredible persistence, began the process of recognizing the Armenian genocide – and then, with the same persistence, halted that process.

This was another important episode that lifted the veil, and we all saw, were forced to see, what was happening live.

International players – forgive me for the phrasing – are banging their heads against each other, using the remains of our saints (victims), but it is our heads that are hurting.

International players are turning the bones of our saints into weapons, shooting at each other with those weapons, but it is we who are dying – as it was in the late 19th century, in the early and late 20th century, and until recently.

We must put an end to this process of turning the Armenian genocide into a weapon. Because, even if we are naive enough to think that this weapon is in our hands, we are dying again and again from its shots, and we will continue to die again and again."

It should be noted that, despite the Israeli government's decision in late June 2026 to recognize the Armenian genocide, this issue was removed from the Knesset's agenda, and a vote on it did not take place due to strong political pressure from Azerbaijan. Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan is referring specifically to these "ups and downs," which, in his opinion, demonstrate that the reason Israel initially seemed to want to recognize the Armenian genocide was not sincere or genuine, but rather stemmed from a desire to "poke" Turkey under Erdogan, that is, within the context of escalating tensions in relations between Jerusalem and Ankara. In this context, he is undoubtedly correct.
