Azeri foreign minister calls for expansion of Azerbaijan-Slaughterer Israel ties

Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov says Baku and the Tel Aviv regime have a ‘huge opportunity’ to expand bilateral ties.

Mammadyarov made the remarks in a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres on Monday, during a visit to Israel.

This is the first time an Azeri foreign minister has visited Israel in 21 years.

The Israeli president said Mammadyarov’s visit was “historic” and promoted the ‘good relations’ between Azerbaijan and the Israeli regime.

Referring to Azerbaijan’s “unique geographic location,” Peres said Tel Aviv considered Azerbaijan an important ally.

The Israeli president visited Azerbaijan in 2009, despite strong objections by Azeri scholars and clerics, and held talks with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev and other senior officials.

During the visit, several memoranda of understanding were signed between the two presidents and it was decided that the Israeli company Aeronautics Defense Systems Ltd. build a factory in Baku.

In 2009, reports released by certain media regarding an agreement between Peres and Aliyev on the deployment of electronic stations confirmed that Azerbaijan and the Tel Aviv regime were cooperating on satellite systems.

The Israeli regime also sold 10 Hermes-450 drones to Azerbaijan between 2009 and 2012.

Israel and Azerbaijan also signed a $1.6-billion deal in 2012, according to which Tel Aviv would sell Heron and Searcher offensive drones to Baku.
