Azerbaijan said the move could hurt bilateral ties and deepen regional divisions, as more than two dozen countries already recognize the killings.
- On Monday, Azerbaijan denounced Israel's decision to recognize the World War I massacres of Armenians as a genocide, with the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry calling the move of "serious concern."
- Successive Israeli governments had avoided formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide to preserve relations with Turkey, Azerbaijan's closest foreign partner and the region's historical actor in the 1915 events.

- More than two dozen countries recognize the killings as a genocide, while Azerbaijan and Armenia are ratcheting down tensions to finalize a comprehensive peace deal despite the diplomatic rupture.
