President of Armenia reportedly expressed lack of enthusiasm over Israel's formal recognition of the Armenian genocide, according to a report by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS).
The Armenian president's reported reaction comes after Israel formally recognized the 1915–1923 mass killings of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide. The move, announced earlier this month, marked a departure from Israel's longstanding policy of not using the term, driven by strategic relations with Turkey. The president's cool response suggests the recognition has not yielded a warming in bilateral ties with Yerevan. The specific context or forum of his remarks was not detailed in the report.
