He noted that Azerbaijan and Israel have close relations: “We discussed a number of areas of cooperation, mainly economy and public diplomacy. For us, the main issue in Azerbaijan is the coexistence of Jews and the activity of Jewish community in this country. This community acts as a bridge between the two countries.”

The Israeli FM expressed satisfaction with the meeting of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev with Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Last year, my Azerbaijani counterpart visited Israel. We identified a number of areas of mutual interest during this visit. We are currently implementing some of them. I repeat that we are discussing the issues of high tech, energy and agriculture, the most important areas of relations between the two countries. Before this meeting, I held a very important and interesting meeting with the Azerbaijani President. I welcome such bilateral cooperation.”
