We call\u00a0 on the Israeli government to reconsider its decision.<\/p>\n<p>Azerbaijan will\u00a0 continue to consistently maintain its position in protecting\u00a0 historical truth, respecting the principles of international law, and\u00a0 promoting sustainable peace in the region,&#8221; the Azerbaijani Foreign\u00a0 Ministry said in statement.<\/p>\n<p>Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said, the government does not see a need to respond to the recent recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the state of Israel. He stated this on June 29 while speaking with journalists, in response to a question regarding why Armenia has remained silent following the Israeli government&#8217;s formal recognition of the\u00a0 genocide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do not see a necessity for a formal response. We believe that\u00a0 avoiding the &#8216;militarization&#8217; of the issue\u2014regarding the recognition\u00a0 of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire\u2014is in Armenia&#8217;s best\u00a0 interest,&#8221; Pashinyan said, adding that he considers further comment\u00a0 on the matter unnecessary.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"zGuzKieFJ2\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/the-culprit-of-genocide-of-gazans-israel-recognizes-armenian-deaths-in-ww1-as-genocide-turkiye-reacts-political-move-to-cover-own-crimes\/\">The Culprit of Genocide of Gazans &#8211; ISRAEL Recognizes Armenian Deaths in WW1 as Genocide | Turkiye Reacts &#8221; Political Move to Cover Own Crimes&#8221;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;The Culprit of Genocide of Gazans &#8211; ISRAEL Recognizes Armenian Deaths in WW1 as Genocide | Turkiye Reacts &#8221; Political Move to Cover Own Crimes&#8221;&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/the-culprit-of-genocide-of-gazans-israel-recognizes-armenian-deaths-in-ww1-as-genocide-turkiye-reacts-political-move-to-cover-own-crimes\/embed\/#?secret=CUIiLQzAXW#?secret=zGuzKieFJ2\" data-secret=\"zGuzKieFJ2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD : 29 June 2026 &#8211; Azerbaijan has expressed \u201cserious concern\u201d over Israel\u2019s official recognition of the Armenian genocide by Turkey on Sunday, warning that such decisions \u201cundermine efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region.\u201d In a statement released early on Monday, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry called on Israel \u201cto reconsider this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[196,109,1622,302,285,2573,1973,1237],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65330"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65330"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65335,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65330\/revisions\/65335"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
