Rima Varzhapetyan-Feller (Armenian: Ռիմա Վարժապետյան-Ֆելլեր, Russian: Римма Варжапетян-Феллер) is an Armenian Jewish woman who has been the president of the Jewish Community of Armenia since 1996,[1][2] a community which currently stands at 1,000 people, despite Jews being present in Armenia since the days of Tigranes the Great.

[3] She is also a member of the European Jewish Parliament, representing Armenia.

She has campaigned for the recognition of the Armenian genocide,[4][5] especially by Israel, even sending an open letter to the Knesset in 2012.

[6] Organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and some media outlets in the United States[7] have reported that Armenia is probably the most anti-Semitic member of the former USSR countries, with over half of the population harboring anti-Semitic attitudes, according to some sources.

28, 2015, Arye Gut, an Israeli of Azerbaijani origin, accused Varzhapetyan of not denouncing the publication of antisemitic books in Armenia and the glorification[9] of Drastamat Kanayan, leader of the Armenian Legion and collaborator with Nazi Germany during World War II.
