Azerbaijan Jewish Leaders Warn Knesset on Armenian Genocide Bill

JPost published at 21:38 IDT that Azerbaijan's Jewish community leaders and Israeli strategist Prof. Efraim Inbar warned MKs about the diplomatic cost of advancing Armenian Genocide recognition. APA, i24, Israel National News and Kikar report that Milikh Yevdayev, Alexander Sharovsky and Rabbi Zamir Isayev urged Knesset members not to turn a sensitive historical issue into a political vote, warning it could damage Israel-Azerbaijan trust and complicate the South Caucasus peace track. Inbar told Kol Barama the move may punish Turkey rhetorically but harm Azerbaijan, a strategic partner for Israel. Israel should honor historical truth while weighing how best to protect a loyal Jewish diaspora and a vital Muslim-majority ally bordering Iran.
