Azerbaijani rabbi Shneor Segal said, “We love our homeland Azerbaijan. We pray for the victory and for liberation of the lands occupied by the aggressor.” Compare the tolerance of Azerbaijan w/the antisemitism of Armenia and you understand why. | https://www.jpost.com/opinion/living-in-azerbaijan-as-a-jew-versus-being-jewish-in-armenia-647026
“Armenia is cited as the least tolerant toward Jews among 18 countries in Central and Eastern Europe in data published by the Pew Research Center. Fully 32% of Armenian survey respondents said they would not even accept Jews as fellow citizens.”
“According to the Index of Antisemitism of the Anti-Defamation League, Armenia is the most saturated with antisemitism among the post-Soviet countries, with anti-Jewish sentiments shared by 58% of its population.”
“‘The typical official response to antisemitism in Armenia is to deny its existence,’ Sidman wrote. The Holocaust memorial in...Yerevan was vandalized multiple times in 2004 and 2005, but police reportedly concluded that the monument ‘had just fallen on its own.’”
“[N]o officials publicly condemned the incidents.”

“20K Armenian Nazi collaborators lent a hand by rounding up Jews...behind the German Army.” The leaders of those collaborators were Gen. Dro and Gen. Njdeh, both of whom are hailed as national heroes in Armenia today.
A leading Armenian-American media outlet “gave its full propaganda support to Hitler, calling Jews ‘poisonous elements,’ justifying the Holocaust & naming it a necessary ‘surgical operation.’
In the center of Yerevan, a monument now stands to Nzhdeh, considered a national hero.”
