TEHRAN - In a meeting held on Wednesday at the invitation of Iranian
Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, Azerbaijani Ambassador to
Tehran Javanshir Akhundov explained about the arms deal between the
Zionist regime and Azerbaian.
The meeting was held in response to reports that Azerbaijan had signed
a $1.6 billion deal with Israel for the purchase of drones and
anti-aircraft and missile systems, Press TV reported.
Ambassador Akhundov explained that the weapons were being purchased to
liberate the `occupied' lands of Azerbaijan.
Iran warns Azerbaijan not to allow Israel to use the country's
territory as a launchpad to stage terrorist activities against the
Islamic Republic, Araqchi said during the meeting.
Akhundov emphasized that Baku would not allow the weapons to be used
against any country, particularly Iran.
Meanwhile, Israeli media outlets have reported that Angolan Finance
Minister Carlos Alberto Lopes traveled to Israel last week to sign a
military agreement. Reports say the Israeli-Angolan deal is worth
about one billion dollars.
And on February 16, Israeli officials said Tel Aviv had reached a
`one-billion-dollar preliminary' agreement with Italy to buy 30
Italian military training jets.
