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.” Currently, there is a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, with rising death tolls from mass starvation, targeted killings, and abductions of peaceful Armenian civilians. The dictatorship of Azerbaijan is deliberately targeting the ethnic Armenian population of Artsakh, with the aim of destroying that group, the definition of genocide.
