Azerbaijan has unfriendly attitude to Israel, said Israeli scholar
Avigdor Eskin, in an interview given to Azerbaijan portal "Haqqin.az."
He also noted that Israel's relations with Turkey are still very tense.
"There is a mutually beneficial relationship between Israel and
Azerbaijan. And I've always been for strengthening them. At the
same time, we understand that Azerbaijan's attitude to Israel is
unfriendly. With Georgia, for instanse, we have more open and close
relationship. While Azerbaijan has not yet opened its embassy in
Israel. That says a lot," Eskin said.
Commenting on question whether it is possible that the Israeli
parliament will recognize the Armenian Genocide carried out in the
Ottoman Empire in 1915, Avigdor Eskin stated: "The fact of the crimes
carried out against the Armenian people in 1915 is not an issue for
any serious historian."
Commenting on the Israeli-Turkish relations, Avigdor Eskin stated
that they are still tense because of the incident connected with the
"Mavi Marmara" ship.
"Relations with Turkey remain very tense. Istanbul committed aggression
against us, allowing the vessels with the terrorists to sail to our
shores. I wonder how would the Erdogan government reacted to the fact
of sending of several Israeli vessels with an aid for the Kurds on
board? But Erdogan is irrational. The relationship between us can
improve when the psychosis passes," he beleives.
According to the political scientist, Israel has opposed the Geneva
agreements on the nuclear issues between Iran and the West, because
it remembers the precedent of North Korea, which has deceived the
international community. "Hence the fears that Tehran might do the
same. In Jerusalem they believed that it was necessary to preserve
the sanctions against Iran and to hold negotiations on somewhat later
stage," he said.
In the same time the political scientist noted that while Iran was
in friendly terms with Israel, the two countries where in very good
relations. "It was Iran that in the person of Ayatollah Khomeini
severed relations with Israel," Eskin said, noting that Khamenei
and Ahmadinejad, leaders of Iran, have repeatedly threatened to
destroy Israel.
