Israeli and Armenian-American outlets: Israel’s strategic alignment with Azerbaijan overshadows ties with Armenia

"Israel’s strategic alignment with Azerbaijan—Armenia’s rival—long overshadowed everything else. Azerbaijan supplies Israel with oil and access to Iran’s northern flank, and in return has been a major buyer of Israeli drones and precision weapons. Those systems proved decisive in Baku’s victory in the 2020 war over Nagorno-Karabakh, and in the 2023 campaign that emptied the enclave of its 120,000 ethnic Armenian residents," notes an article published by both The Times of Israel and The Armenian Mirror-Spectator, one of the media mouthpieces of the Armenian diaspora in the United States.
