WASHINGTON, DC – Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Chairman Raffi Hamparian, in a frank and direct letter to Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, asked that “Israel immediately halt the sale or transfer of lethal or dual-use material and technology to Azerbaijan.”
Hamparian shared that since the September 27th Azerbaijani surprise attack on Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) and Armenia, Israeli-produced military drones and LORA missiles have been used indiscriminately against civilian populations centers. “Shipments of these and other deadly weapons must be ended immediately, as a matter of basic morality and both Israeli and international humanitarian law,” stated Hamparian.
Hamparian concluded the letter noting, “We look to you to urgently convey our concerns to the Israeli government, to work toward an immediate halt to all arms sales and transfers to Azerbaijan, and to ensure that Israel will never be complicit in a second Armenian Genocide.”

very timely and appropriate letter.
This was soooo planned like it couldn’t have been more obvious as if they were sleeping while the exports of weapons was being taken place
Holocaust trauma my vorr. Long overdue for Armenians to quietly join the BDS movement against the Israeli occupation.
It seems that Israeli hypocrisy knows no bounds. For decades they have been preaching to the world about the genocide committed against their nation while selling deadly weapons to the terrorist government of Azerbaijan to commit genocide on the Armenian nation.
The sooner the Israeli leadership comes to its senses the better. What they don’t realize is the fact that all those sophisticated weapons they sold and are selling to terrorist Azerbaijan will someday be used against them. Azerbaijan would never dare to begin and conduct such widespread and massive attack, mostly on defenseless civilians and infrastructure, without the blessing and full support of terrorist Turkish leadership under the Turkish mullah and terrorist-in-chief Erdogan. This is the same Turkish terrorist leader who recently declared that Jerusalem, the future capital of Israel, is theirs after converting the Greek Eastern Orthodox Basilica of Saint Sophia into a mosque. He also gave Turkish citizenship to the top leaders of Hamas and others considered as terrorists by the very NATO organization his terrorist Turkish state is supposedly a member.

Given all these facts, and the Turkish appetite to resurrect the collapsed Ottoman Empire, it is highly conceivable that these advanced and destructive Israeli weapons sold to terrorist Azerbaijan will someday be used against Israel itself. Wake up Israel and put an end to your hypocrisy. Conduct yourself as you preach. Not everything has to be about your self-gains at the expense of others. The Turkish devil has his eyes on your future capital of Jerusalem!
