Day.Az interview with Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.
- Israel regards Azerbaijan as one of the important strategic partners
in the region and plans to develop the trade and economic ties with
it in most spheres, especially in fuel. Do you think Israel strongly
needs a Moslem state - Azerbaijan?
- Israel and Azerbaijan maintain friendly relations. Azerbaijan is
a peace-loving modern Moslem state and Israel considers it important
to maintain good and friendly relations with it.
- How do you assess the Azerbaijani-Israeli relations?
- Azerbaijan and Israel have developed commercial ties, especially
in the energy sphere. We are glad to see that these relations are
developing and we hope that this will further continue.
- Is there any progress in the work of the Jewish Eurasian council,
which was ready to support Azerbaijan in the Nagorno Karabakh issue
in the US congress?
- Israel is watching the continuing dispute on Nagorno Karabakh with
regret. Israel maintains friendly relations with both countries and
hopes for the peaceful resolution of the conflict. We welcome the
resumption of talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia and are ready to
see the achievements of the past few weeks, which proves possible
progress in the process of peaceful settlement.
- As is known, Azerbaijan has definite doubts about opening a
representative office in Israel. Yet, these doubts seemed not
to prevent our country from signing the defense contracts for
hundreds millions of dollars with Israel? How can you explain these
discrepancies? How can Iran treat this event?
- Israel is for opening the Azerbaijani embassy in Israel and it would
be glad to welcome the Azerbaijani ambassador to Israel. At the same
time, the issue, why the Azerbaijani embassy does not open in Israel
should be addressed to the Azerbaijani government.
- Gaarets newspaper announced that the Israeli defense ministry signed
a number of contracts with the Azerbaijani government on supply of
technique and ammunitions for several hundreds millions of dollars. Is
it possible to say that relations between the two countries become
not only diplomatic but also military strategic?
- Israel does not provide information about military and defense
issues, related to deals.
