Azerbaijan envoy to Israel: You cannot use our airfields to attack Iran
Azerbaijani Ambassador-Designate to Israel Mukhtar Mammadov denied a report by Haaretz that the country has prepared an airfield to assist Israel.
The IDF won’t be allowed to use
Azerbaijan as a refueling base during an attack against
Iran, the country’s newly appointed ambassador to Israel, Mukhtar Mammadov, told
The Jerusalem Post.
In the first interview he gave after arriving in Tel Aviv last week, ambassador-designate Mammadov
denied foreign media reports reported by Haaretz earlier this month that the country had prepared an airfield meant to assist Israel in case it decides to attack Iranian nuclear sites, or had allowed the Mossad to set up a branch in Azerbaijan to monitor what is happening in Iran.
“Azerbaijan, from the start, has declared that it will not interfere in the internal matters of other countries and
will not allow its territory to be used against other countries,” the ambassador said. “This is because we expect other countries not to interfere in our internal matters.”
When pressed,
“Are you saying those foreign media reports are false?” Mammadov said “yes.”
