The expected visit of President of Israel Shimon Peres to Azerbaijan
will strengthen and develop bilateral ties, member of parliament and
chairman of the Ana Veten party Fazail Agamaly said at a session of
Milli Medjlis today.

"Unfortunately, however, Iranian officials have attempted to interfere
with the internal affairs and foreign policy of Azerbaijan. Thus,
the Chief of the General Staff of Iran Hasan Firuz Abbas expressed
concern about the visit of Israeli President", he said.

According to the member of parliament, Azerbaijan is an independent
state and is building its own policy.

"When the Iranian side makes such claims, it must remember that it
is developing good relations with Armenia, which committed genocide
in Khojaly, have seized 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory. Serzh
Sargsyan is warmly welcomed in Iran", said F. Agamaly.
