Israel-Armenia relations amid challenges and interests - Jerusalem Studio 556

The renewed fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed district of Nagorno-Karabakh put Israel in an uneasy position between the two. Israel has long had an emotional attachment to the Armenian people, whose plight under Ottoman rule during the First World War preceded the Jewish people’s Holocaust in Europe during the Second World War. But rationally, rather than emotionally, Azerbaijan is more of an asset to Israel, because of its border with Iran and the defense items it buys from Israeli industry. The difference between Armenia and Azerbaijan, from an Israeli economic viewpoint, is between millions and billions. How do Yerevan and Jerusalem manage their relationship, under these circumstances? Panel: - Jonathan Hessen, Host. - Amir Oren, Analyst. - Dr. Eran Lerman, Vice President of the Jerusalem Institute of Strategy and Security and a Lecturer at Shalem College, Jerusalem. - Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Research Fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center and JISS.
