Azerbaijan is more important for Israel than France.
The statement came from Israeli FM, leader of the party `Our
home-Israel’, Avigdor Lieberman.
According to Vestnik Kavkaza, he said that the volume of Israeli
export to Azerbaijan makes $5bn a year today while the volume of
export to France makes just $3bn.
`Maybe because Azerbaijan has never had anti-Semitism or probably due
to those warm personal relations that I established with the
leadership of this country, I feel at ease in Azerbaijan. I was flying
directly from Tel-Aviv to Baku and it was a pleasure that there was
not a single free seat in the airplane. Among passengers there were
both prominent businessmen and ordinary people who were flying to see
their relatives or home. It was a sign that the economic and personal
ties between our countries and peoples develop successfully, which
means that we were working not in vain’, he said.
On drawing preliminary conclusions of his position, Lieberman said
that he considers the sharp intensification of ties between Azerbaijan
and Israel one of his main achievements along with the intensification
of ties with Balkan and Black Sea states.
