YEREVAN. - In external relations with Israel and Turkey, Azerbaijan
will have to choose one direction or the other, Giro Manoyan, head of
central Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
said at a press conference on Tuesday.
He mentioned that despite the deterioration of Turkish-Israeli
relations, ties between Israel and Azerbaijan remain active in recent
years. In particular Israeli President Shimon Peres visited Baku not
so long ago.
"Sooner or later Azerbaijan will be faced with a choice and Baku,
I believe, will satisfy the expectations of Turkey rather than Israel.
Especially given that Azerbaijan has already announced an intention to
vote for the recognition of Palestine's independence. Along with all
this, the idea of partnership with Israel is not rejected publicly,"
said Manoyan. Interestingly, Israel does not object this ambiguity,
he said.
According to him, in the near future Azerbaijan will adopt a less
aggressive stance in the UN because of nomination as a candidate for
non-permanent Security Council member.
