Nadav Tamir, former advisor to Israeli President Shimon Peres, has published an article in Ynet calling for Israel to recognize the Armenian Genocide and establish an embassy in Yerevan. Despite strategic relations with Azerbaijan, he argues that Israel should be guided by value-based principles in its foreign policy.
Tamir emphasized the historical and cultural connections between Israel and Armenia, highlighting both nations’ experiences of surviving genocide. He also referenced the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem as a testament to centuries-old ties between the two peoples.
The article discusses prospects for economic cooperation, particularly in the high-tech sector. Tamir noted that opening an embassy in Yerevan could create new opportunities for developing bilateral relations. He suggests that this diplomatic step would be relatively inexpensive while carrying significant symbolic importance.
