The leader of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan has denounced a scheduled
visit by the Israeli foreign minister to Baku as an "insult" to
the country.
In an interview with Iran’s Sahar 1 TV channel on 8 February, Haci
Movsum Samadov urged the authorities "to prevent the arrival of such
a criminal" in Azerbaijan.
"We view this visit as an insult to our nation, as a black stain on
our history, and we want and demand that relevant organizations stop
his arrival," Samadov said.
Avigdor Lieberman is expected to visit the Azerbaijani capital on
9 February.
Also speaking on Sahar 1 TV, Islamic scholar Leyla Abbasova said:
"I would not like we have that Jewish Zionist sitting at our table."
Novrasta Ibrahimova, chairwoman of the board of women of the party,
asked the Azerbaijani leadership why Avigdor Lieberman, whose country
"has brought the whole world into darkness", was visiting Azerbaijan.
Another activist of the Islamic Party Emilya Tagiyeva described
"Karabakh’s occupation as a continuation of Quds".
