(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 31. The official
appeal of 30 deputies of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) to the
Milli Majlis (Azerbaijani Parliament) expressing support for
Azerbaijan has been published on social media, trend reports.
The document is an appeal to the Parliament of Azerbaijan,
dedicated to the decision to open an Azerbaijani Embassy in Tel
Aviv. It was signed by was signed by Knesset deputies from 8
parties.
'Today, Azerbaijan stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel as a
reliable partner in the security and economic spheres. This
partnership is the foundation of Israel's regional security system.
The MPs of the Azerbaijani Parliament, our dear friends, accept our
congratulations on the decision to open the Embassy of Azerbaijan
in Israel. This is an important and bold step in the development of
cooperation between the two countries and a natural continuation of
the centuries-old friendship between the Azerbaijani and Jewish
peoples on Azerbaijani soil. We share a dangerous enemy: Iranian
tyranny, threatening to destroy both our peoples. The Ayatollah
regime, which brutally kills its own citizens and encourages
terrorism in the world, is using anti-Semitic propaganda to turn
the people of Azerbaijan against secular power, which is respected
in the international arena. The Iranian dictatorship also attempts
to threaten its northern neighbor by using a show of force and
attempts to create an Azerbaijani 'Hezbollah' [Lebanese Shia
Islamist political party and militant group]. But all these efforts
are futile. Azerbaijan, time and again, proves that it is not
susceptible to blackmail and threats and, one month after the
exercises of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at the border,
announced the decision to open an embassy in our country. It is at
this moment that we want the Azerbaijani people to know: Israel and
the Jewish people cherish you and are determined to continue
building a strategic partnership,' the appeal said.
The document also expresses dissatisfaction with the resolution
of the French Senate of November 15 calling for sanctions against
Azerbaijan and an embargo on the purchase of EU gas and oil from
it.
'This decision plays into the hands of Iran, which is interested
in weakening Azerbaijan, which today is an example of a country
with a progressive Muslim-Shiite population, maintaining close ties
with Israel and the Western world. We hope that the Senate will
reconsider this decision,' the letter says.
Meanwhile, the document was signed, among others, by 9 ministers
and two deputy ministers in the new government of Benjamin
Netanyahu. Among them are high-ranking cabinet members - Minister
of National Security Ben-Gvir, Minister of Religious Affairs
Malkieli, Minister of Education Kish.
