President Ilham Aliyev, addressing the “Facing the New World Order” forum at ADA University, said Azerbaijan played a role in facilitating the first reconciliation between Türkiye and Israel, calling both countries close friends and expressing concern over tensions between them.

“The first successful reconciliation between Türkiye and Israel was to a certain degree facilitated by Azerbaijan. So during the first crisis, we played active role in order to try to bring countries closer,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev while speaking at the international forum titled “Facing the New World Order” held at ADA University.

“Both countries are close friends of Azerbaijan. With Türkiye, we are allies. We signed the Shusha Declaration in 2021, and formally became allies. And Israel is a friendly country to Azerbaijan, and for many years, mutual friendship have been demonstrated in difficult times for both of us. Therefore, of course, for us, these tensions between two countries is very disturbing and a matter of concern,” the Azerbaijani President emphasized.
