Eric HacopianIsrael’s decision to cancel a parliamentary vote recognizing the Armenian Genocide has raised questions about Azerbaijan’s influence and the political calculations behind the reversal. Insights host Eric Hacopian examines what this reveals about regional politics and why the issue extends beyond recognition itself.
