    AZERBAIJAN'S LOBBYIST LEAVING KNESSET

    Yosef Shagal, Russian-speaking lobbyist of the Israeli-Turkic strategic
    alliance announced that he gives up politics and returns to journalism.

    A Baku native, Shagal became leader of the Azerbaijan-Israel
    International Association in April 2007 to "cement ties between the
    two states."

    In spring 2008, Yosef Shagal opposed discussion of the Armenian
    Genocide in Knesset, describing it as a threat to relations with
    Turkey and Azerbaijan.

    Shagal will not enter the history of Israeli parliamentarianism but
    his activities were significant for Israeli presence in the post-soviet
    area and for the development of the South Caucasus vector to neutralize
    the Iranian threat, Turtsia.ru reports.
