The energetic Los Angeles Billionaire businessman Ishak Nazarian has ties with both the Iranian Jewish community and the Azerbaijanis in California and is busy building good relations between them.
"...One of the interesting paradoxes of modern Iranian foreign policy (is that) Azerbaijan and Israel are natural strategic partners.
