Defense Ministry: â€œNo airdrome and military base of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were given to any country for useâ€

In general, there is no need for it. Despite official denial of incorrect thoughts and groundless analyses, the rumors on this topic have been still continuing. Evidently some forces are not interested in removal of this topic from the agendaâ€, spokesperson for the Defense Ministry Eldar Sabiroglu told APA.

Sabiroglu said that the main purpose of the article is to strain friendly and fraternal relations between Iran and Azerbaijan: â€œIt was repeatedly noted that such efforts will have no result. At least our traditions, joint values and close relations will not permit it. It is sufficient to give 1-2 examples. Trilateral meeting of Turkish, Azerbaijani and Iranian foreign ministers in Nakhchivan, adoption of declaration reflecting common interests, then visit of Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev to Iran and statements of our high officials on Iran-Azerbaijan relations afford ground to say that no force can intervene in friendly relations between the two countriesâ€.

US-based Foreign Policy published an article claiming that Azerbaijan allows Israel to use its airdromes.
