Baku. Victoria Dementyeva – APA. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, who is on a visit to Israel, has met with President of this country Shimon Peres. APA reports quoting Jerusalem Post. Peres said that this is a historic visit and the first visit of the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister to Israel, even though diplomatic relations between the two countries were established. Peres said that Mammadyarov's visit officially promotes the good relations between Azerbaijan and Israel. Peres expressed his confidence that Azerbaijan would become a major player in its geo-political region.
Peres commended Azerbaijan for its policy of peace: “Azerbaijan takes a clear stand against terror and war and wants to introduce peace in a troubled area which is not yet free from terror and violence.”
Peres emphasized that Iran, one of the neighboring countries of Azerbaijan, is “the greatest terror,” funding terror, developing nuclear weapons and casting a heavy shadow over the entire Middle East.
Mammadyarov noted that a part of the Azerbaijani territories is under occupation of Armenia: “One of the reasons for our good relations with Israel is that you recognize our problems,” he said.
