The Jerusalem Post: Stance of the Armenian lobby in the U.S. could serve Iranian interests

"While the Armenian government is cautiously attempting to break years of stagnation and deepen its relations with Israel as part of its pivot toward the West, the Armenian lobby in the United States is pursuing an independent and more adversarial approach. Some regional analysts suggest that this friction could inadvertently serve Iranian interests by disrupting emerging security partnerships," The Jerusalem Post reported.

"There is a clear desire (of Israel) to normalize relations with Armenia, yet there is also a need to maintain the strategic partnership with Baku, a long-standing ally. While the Armenian lobby in the US continues its campaign to oppose these diplomatic shifts, the reality presented by the Jewish community in Azerbaijan serves as a reminder of the complex alliances at play in the region," the newspaper added.

Meanwhile, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) responded on X to the Jerusalem Post article, writing: "Israel is complicit in Azerbaijan's 2023 genocide of the Armenian Christians of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh)... Azerbaijan, a genocide perpetrator allied with Israel, should not play any sort of neutral peacekeeping role in Gaza."
