Not from the Onion : The Rabbinical Center of #Europe (RCE) sends letter to #Armenia’s leadership, demanding the Armenian people “immediately and utterly stop” use of the term genocide when referring to #Azerbaijan’s nearly 9-month long blockade of #Artsakh.

Furthermore, the RCE’s letter blatantly ignores the Armenian Genocide of 1915 by stating “horrifying expressions are only suitable for the intentional, systematic and largest genocide in the history of humanity which was suffered by the Jewish people. The holocaust.”

The RCE also refers to the near 9 month blockade as an internal Azerbaijan “conflict,” and accuses the Armenian people of “incessantly using” the term “genocide” for inappropriate political gain.

Previously, the rabbis of RCE have spoken against the “demonization” of Azerbaijan and referred to Armenia as an “ally of the ayatollahs in #Tehran.”

PS. I never thought to see the day Jewish leaders side with the AlQaeda loving dictator of Azerbaijan against Armenia./Farhad
