Armenian liberal newspaper: Israel is clearly not a friendly country to us

In a recent article in Aravot, one of Armenia’s leading liberal newspapers, the author argues that Iran—despite its authoritarian regime—is a key supporter of Armenia, while Israel backs Azerbaijan.

"Israel is clearly not a friendly country to us—it is, in fact, a close ally of Azerbaijan... My sympathy in this conflict lies with Iran... Yes, the Iranian regime is undoubtedly authoritarian—but that matters less to me than the fact that Iran genuinely wants to see Armenia as an independent state... Let us recall how Aliyev recently tried to persuade Iran to soften its opposition to the opening of the so-called ‘Zangezur corridor’ — a route that would run through the sovereign territory of Armenia. It’s clear, isn’t it, who benefits from Iran’s weakening?" the article states.
