Concern Expressed Over Armenian Organizational Leader's Opposition
WASHINGTON, Oct 17, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Jewish Institute for
National Security Affairs (JINSA) today expressed deep concern over
those leaders of the Armenian Assembly of America who denounced a
reported arms sale by Israel to Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan is an important friend of the United States and is one
of the few Muslim countries that maintains a positive relationship
with Israel," said Tom Neumann, executive director of JINSA.
"Azerbaijan is in an unstable region, made even more dangerous by
Russia's invasion of Georgia last August," Neumann noted. "In light
of all that is happening, the support of the U.S. -- and that of the
entire free world -- is appropriate and necessary."
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs is an independent,
non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian educational organization
established in 1976 to educate the public on national and international
security issues, including the importance of an effective U.S. defense
capability and the key role of strategic allies, including Israel,
to promote democratic values in the Middle East.
