Azerbaijan Islamic Party appealed to the Foreign Ministry with a request to prevent opening of the Alley of Azerbaijan-Israel Friendship on the Day of occupation of Shusha.
The press service for the party told APA that according to the appeal Israel is insincere towards Azerbaijan and the whole Islamic world.

"Israel has conducted occupation policy against Muslims for about 60 years. Expansion of ties of Azerbaijan, which is the OIC member, with this country and opening of the Alley of Friendship is not an honor for Baku in the eyes of the Islamic world. The country, enduring occupation, should not schedule the opening day on the Day of Shusha's occupation".

The party called on the Foreign Ministry to be more attentive in such issues.

"Thus Azerbaijan pours water of the enemy's mill. The Islamic party is against development of ties with Israel. The country, which did not support the territorial integrity in the UN General Assembly, can not be a friend".

The party announced that it may support the action of protest, planned by the Karabakh Liberation Organization.

It should be reminded that on May 8 of 1992 the armed forces of Armenia occupied the ancient Azerbaijani city-Shusha. 400 people were killed and 600 civilians were wounded during the occupation. Over 20,000 people were forced to leave their homes. Armenians destroyed 279 historical monuments, 44 schools and other establishments.
