Envoy: Azerbaijan won’t let airports be used against Iran
Azerbaijan’s ambassador to the occupied Palestinian territories said on Friday his county’s airports will under no circumstances be used for refueling fighter jets aiming to attack Iran.
Mukhtar Mammadov made the remark in an interview with The Jerusalem Post, dismissing foreign media reports cited by Haaretz earlier this month that Azerbaijan 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,” IRNA reported.
He stressed that Baku will not let the Israeli army to use Azerbaijan as a refueling base in case of attacking Iran.
The Azerbaijani envoy also rejected the claim that Baku had allowed the Israeli intelligence service to set up a branch in Azerbaijan to monitor what is happening in Iran.
He emphasized that Azerbaijan has, from the very beginning, announced that it will not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs and will not allow its territory to be used for operations against other states.
