TEHRAN, YJC. The Iranian Ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan Mohsen Pakaeen has addressed the strategic Baku-Tel Aviv relations and their impact on Iran-Azerbaijan cooperation.
"I believe
that Baku-Tel Aviv relations are not strategic. Basically no Muslim country can
have strategic relations with Israel,” he said.
Pakaeen
added that Israel has occupied Islamic lands including all of Palestine and
parts of Syria and Lebanon.
He believed
that Israel is the number one threat to the Islamic world and cannot establish
strategic relations with Islamic countries.
Iran’s
Ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan described Iran-Azerbaijan relations
better than any time in the past and said that for the extensive relations
between Tehran and Baku, Israeli media try to impose negative vibe on the relationship.
Pakaeen
provided comments on late positive developments, such as a visit by Iran’s
Secretary of National Security Commission to Baku and said that due to the
developments, Israeli media have set for deterioration of Tehran-Baku relationship.
Pakaeen believed
that there is nothing special to Azerbaijan relations with Israel, but the
Zionist regime amplifies the way the relations sound in order to pull itself out
of isolation.
