Jewish community of Armenia calls on Israeli leadership to stop arms  supplies to Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. The Jewish community of Armenia appealed to the leadership of the State of Israel with an appeal to stop the supply of weapons to Azerbaijan.

The address to President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin  Netanyahu and Speaker  of the Knesset of the State of Israel Yariv  Levin said: "Since September 27, Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia have  been subjected to brutal aggression by Azerbaijan with the active  assistance and direct participation of Turkey, which supplies  Azerbaijan with weapons and military equipment, and also hires and  dispatches jihadists from Syria for the war against Armenians.

Unfortunately, in the midst of the armed conflict, Israel continues  to supply Azerbaijan with the latest types of strategic weapons. The  weapons supplied to Azerbaijan today fall into the hands of radical  Islamists and are used against the civilians of Nagorno-Karabakh and  Armenia.

These facts negatively affect not only the good name of Israel, but  also the attitude towards Jews in general, and contribute to the  emergence of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments in the Armenian  society, despite the fact that until now, Jews in Armenia have been  respected and have never felt anti-Semitism.

We understand the issues of Israel's strategic security, the issues  of economic interaction and the principles of treaty obligations, but  in the current critical situation, when civilians and children are  dying, there can be no excuses and explanations.

It is very painful that it is the long-suffering Israel, tirelessly  fighting against Islamic terrorism, supplying weapons to those on  whose side the jihadist mercenaries are fighting. We hope that Israel  will take all necessary measures to prevent the escalation of the  conflict into a catastrophe on a global scale.

On behalf of the Jewish community of Armenia, we call on the  leadership of the State of Israel and all its citizens to come out  for the cessation of arms supplies to Azerbaijan and to promote a  ceasefire and hostilities between Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh and  Armenia.>
