Azerbaijan has good relations with Israel. At the same time, we do not compromise on our principles. We have always said that we support a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue, as well as East Jerusalem being the capital of Palestine.

Axar.az reports that Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department at the Presidential Administration, made the remarks while speaking at the CAMCA Regional Forum on Central Asia, Mongolia, the Caucasus and Afghanistan in Baku.

“Our Israeli friends also know Azerbaijan’s principled position. Likewise, when speaking with our Iranian neighbors, we make it clear that we fully respect the principles of good-neighborly relations and non-interference in each other’s internal affairs. It is also not possible for any activity to be carried out against any of our neighbors from Azerbaijan’s sovereign territory. This is because it is also a priority for Azerbaijan that there be no foreign military presence on its territory,” he added.
