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.
