    FOREIGN MINISTRY: ISRAEL CONSIDERS AZERBAIJAN AS STRATEGIC PARTNER

    Trend Daily News (Azerbaijan)
    October 29, 2012 Monday 9:37 PM GMT +4

    Israel considers Azerbaijan as a strategic partner in the South
    Caucasus and will always stick to this position, deputy director of
    the Department of the Israeli Foreign Ministry on Central Asia and
    the Caucasus Alex Goldman-Shayman said on Monday at a meeting with
    Azerbaijani journalists.

    "Political relations between the two countries have always been good,
    and economic relations have reached a high level on their background,"
    the spokesman of the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.

    He noted that the energy cooperation plays an important role in the
    economic relations.

    "The positions of the two countries agree on many key issues, which
    are of interest to the policy of Azerbaijan and Israel," he said.

    "Israel, as the conflict-affected country, understands the pain of
    Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and always supported
    the efforts for a peaceful resolution of this problem," director of
    the department of the Israeli Foreign Ministry on Eurasia Oded Joseph
    said in an interview with Azerbaijani journalists.

    Israeli Foreign Ministry is also against illegal visits to the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan.

    "The ministry warned its citizens of it and encouraged to abandon
    such visits," Joseph said.

    Relations between Azerbaijan and Israel have increased considerably
    since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries.

    The two countries are cooperating in many areas.
